I beg to differ.  Xenix was originally written by MS for Tandy (yes Radio 
Shack) for their Motorola based product, the 6000. The problem the 6800 chips had 
at the time was theit inability to communicate with hardware so a Z80 was 
used for the overhead.  SCO was running on IBM PC/XT and clones in 1983.  I know 
because I was selling and supporting both at the time.
