The only OS that came close to Unix for 8 bit micros was OS/9 for the
6809 and
even then you needed a external MMU.
Was not Xenix limited to a 64K code and 64k data segment on the PC? If
this was
the case this could be one factor in its demise. Another factor is RS
started
their clones of the pc at this time as well a large cost for the
software compared
to DOS.
