I'm not sure those Xenix releases are usable anyway. I have followed 
discussions on other forums, and those distributions either lack important 
files or require special license keys no longer possible to obtain or known 
how to generate. I suppose not even SCO would know how to enable them if a 
customer would like to buy a license.

For that matter, one can always develop a Unix lookalike even if it won't 
work exactly the same way. I remember once seeing a "Unix V3" release for 
the Commodore 128, and am sure a BBC Master etc could be made to run 
something similar. For what I know, perhaps such alternative operating 
systems already exist and are commonly used?

Best regards
