There is definitely a PS/2 version, perhaps one for Compaq, I don't know.
I'm quite sure that your friend is at least partially mistaken.  I run
Xenix 386 on a clone (not this machine).

I should guess that anything based on the Micronics motherboard.  That's
the one I use and it's effortless.  It's a plain vanilla collection of
AT cards and the Micronics motherboard, 2Mb memory daughterboard.  I
also have a Computone AT-8 intelligent serial card in it.  No muss no fuss.
I would guess/bet that SCO Xenix 386 will work on many others too, I just
have not personally tried any.
