I wish I get more information from other Xenix owners but I assume they
are using normal or standard computer.

I agree with you. In my office, I am running DECstation 3100 "Pmax"
using 24 megB memory with DECwindow (X-windows)!! I have 5 megB memory
in my Compaq 386/20 and I will need new board. I don't really know how to
get more memory for this machine and Compaq does not make this machine
anymore. Dealer want to talk about selling new computer only. What
hardware do you have?
Does Xsight work on newest Xenix/386?
