On: A bit of XENIX history (2014)

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.

Wow what a cool site.

Can't find the password for xenix though

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