This is so neat! There was a list entry for a Xenix HD image, I'd love to see that in action.

Xenix is the best operating system Microsoft ever shipped, but they gave up on it because there was no way they could use their PC leverage to corner the Unix market.

What did Xenix did that was so distinctive?

[rbanffy]

It was a Unix. I believe the distinctive feature is not what it did, but what it didn’t - crash often.

There was another unix on the Lisa, i'd tell you more but there's literally nothing online about it and the only guy with copies of it hasn't responded to my letter. The company that made it dumped their Lisa unix stuff on him when they went bust because he sold lisa related stuff. Other than that tidbit of info, I haven't found anything online about it

That "other unix" is probably UniPlus Unix, which we actually do have copies of, as well as its source code. It runs great on the FPGA-based Lisa too.

Here's the source code: https://github.com/arcanebyte/uniplus
