A look into Xenix, Microsofts long forgotten Unix Operating System [COMPAQ PORTABLE PLUS - Pt III]

I wanted to look into Xenix for a long time already, and that time finally came when I restored the COMPAQ PORTABLE PLUS ... Over 40 years ago, Microsoft ventured into their own Unix operating system called Xenix, with a clear intention to make it the high-end PC operating system of choice. History turned out differently. But still, if you are into Unix, then you shouldn't miss out my venture to install Xenix on the COMPAQ PORTABLE PLUS. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Creating a Floppy Disk set 03:08 Installing XENIX (Base OS) 06:35 The thing about the serial number 07:18 Installing the Extended System Utilities 10:33 A brief DOS diversion 11:02 A look around XENIX 12:12 Installing Games ... the hard and the easy way! 16:02 Conclusion 17:08 Next on THE PHINTAGE COLLECTOR / Outro Visit also THE PHINTAGE COLLECTOR website at for insights into my retro computer collection.
