[Coco] [Color Computer] The evolution of the Coco..

[Dave]

H'mmnn...Xenix.....the TRS line used that particular OS at some 
point...

I still have my unused copy of SCO 286 Xenix in storage in the 
basement but have nothing to run it on....oh well :-(

Does anyone remember the Mark Williams package called 
Coherent...another Unix clone and the first one I learned Unix on 
after college.....

And didn't Wally-Mart offer Linux boxes in the States?

Cheers Dave
