PS/2 support was added as of 2.2.2, and VGA boot in EGA mode was
added in 2.2.3. There is an upgrade path from 2.2.1 to 2.2.3, it's called
update K/286 or update K/386. VP/ix requires 386/2.2.2 or higher. By the
way, I think the $39 cheapo Xenix they were originally talking about
was 2.1.3 for 286 - the first really solid release for the 286, although
it had its bugs...
