A = Comes with an Adaptec AHA-1640 SCSI host adapter, may require unx186
depending on the revision of the BIOS chip. Only some of the Apricot
Qi machines have these. All of the Tandy 5000MC machines have the
Adaptec AHA-1640 SCSI host adapters.
E = Support Level Supplement unx233 is necessary to install UNIX 3.2
if the machine has a Seagate 60MB ESDI drive model number st177i.
E1 = A Special N1 is from SCO Support is necessary to install ODT 1.0
if the machines has a Seagate 60MB ESDI drive model number st177i.
Installation of ODT 1.0 is not recommended due to the small disk size.
E2 = An Extended Feature Supplement is necessary to install SCO UNIX 3.2v2 and
Open Desktop 1.1 on the IBM PS/2 Model 57SX.
F = This machine comes with a 2.88 MB floppy diskette drive, and the
operating systems indicated will not install on it.
M = requires additional memory
P = Works by following the writeup on the Model P70 in this database.
Q = Works by following the writeup on the Model 75 in this database.
S = SCSI hard disk is an option for this system. In order to install UNIX
release 3.2.0 on a SCSI based PS/2 you must have the UNIX Micro Channel
SCSI Extended Feature Supplement, available through Telesales. Also,
Support Level Supplement unx270 should be obtained for installing
SCO UNIX release 3.2.0 on SCSI based PS/2 systems with processor speeds
of 25 MHz or above. SCO UNIX release 3.2v2 and all releases of Open Desktop
support a SCSI based PS/2 system with no additional software.

E = Support Level Supplement xnx232b may be necessary to install XENIX 2.3.2
on machines built with a Seagate ESDI drive model number st177i. Also,
the 80 MB ESDI drive on the PS/2 Model 55SX requires xnx232b, and the
80 and 160 MB ESDI drives on the PS/2 Model 70 requires xnx232b.
E1 = Early Model 70 machines require xnx106 to install. Note that replacing
a 60MB drive in this machine will require an upgrade to 2.3.2 and the
Supplement xnx232.
F = This machine comes with a 2.88 MB floppy diskette drive, and the
operating systems indicated will not install on it. There is a
supplement planned to provide support for the 2.88 MB floppy
under XENIX 2.3.4 MC
X = An Extended Functionality Supplement is necessary to install XENIX 2.3.4
on the IBM PS/2 Model 57SX.
P = Will work with Support Level Supplement xnx155b and writeup on the
Model P70 in this database.
Q = Will work with Support Level Supplement xnx155b and the writeup on the
Model 75 in this database.
S = SCSI hard disk is an option for this system. In order to install XENIX
on a SCSI based PS/2 you must have the IBM SCSI Extensions to
SCO XENIX, available through Telesales.
S1 = SCSI hard disk is an option for this system. In order to install XENIX
on a SCSI based PS/2 you must obtain XENIX 2.3.2 and the IBM SCSI
Extensions to SCO XENIX, available through Telesales, or use XENIX 2.3.4.
There is no Support for the IBM SCSI Host Adapters in XENIX 2.3.3.
T = The ALR machines should work under XENIX 2.3.2, but have not
been tested.
