I'm considering the purchase of an 80386 system to do development
(actually porting) of software.  I currently have software that has
been running on 68020's for a while and am going to start working
on bringing it over to the IBM/PC MSDOS envionment, as well as
various types of UNIXes.

I understand that SCO has an 80386 C compiler that will generate
machine code for the 8086, and 80286 machines for either the MSDOS
or XENIX environments.

Xenix also sounds like it is the most used version of UNIX for PC's.

I can get Wyse PC's for a reasonable price, and have been thinking
about getting one of their 386-based boxes.  Will it run SCO Xenix?
Has anyone used one that could relate their experiences?  Would I
do better to try and go with another machine, such as a Compact (sp?)?

Any general help/suggestions would be appreciated.
