I wanted to look into
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
