You can play with Xenix on 8086 here: https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/sys/unix/sco/xenix/086/2...

Click in the window and hit <enter> when you see the word "Boot".

I noticed you can also use the form below the window to mount various DOS floppies.

Then, within xenix, do: dosls /dev/fd096 and you can see what's on the floppy. There's other dos* commands that do what you would imagine they do, like doscat, doscp, etc.

That's awesome. The messages and experience look the same as 386 Xenix.

Just login as "root", no password. I was amazed how familiar it felt.
