PC/IX 1.0

From [WinWorld](https://winworldpc.com/product/pc-ix):
> Interactive UNIX, also known as PC/IX, and 386/ix were UNIX System V derivitives created for the IBM PC in the
early 1980's. PC/IX was the first UNIX sold directly from IBM, but not the first UNIX sold for the IBM PC.
(Venix/86 was the first.) The original PC/IX software sold was on 19 floppy disks and sold for 900 dollars. In 1985,
386/ix was introduced, later named Interactive UNIX. The last version released was 4.1.1 in July 1998 and was supported
up until 2006.

IBM PC XENIX 1.0

From [OS/2 Museum](http://www.os2museum.com/wp/ibm-pc-xenix/):
> The IBM PC XENIX was based on AT&T’s UNIX System III (rather than the newer System V) with a number of BSD
enhancements. The latter included vi, C shell, and termcap/curses. Microsoft also implemented several enhancements,
such as the ability to read and write DOS file systems.
> Much like other Xenix variants before and after, IBM PC XENIX was optionally shipped with Text Formatting System
(TFS) and Software Development System (SDS) packages. The TFS was based on the classic nroff/troff formatters and
associated utilities. The SDS included a compiler, assembler, debugger, and assorted development tools like SCCS and
make.
> One of the Microsoft-specific enhancements was the ability to cross-compile to DOS using the SDS. The XENIX to DOS
cross-development capability was likely frequently used internally at Microsoft in the mid-1980s.
> The IBM PC XENIX came with rudimentary networking capabilities, namely uucp and micnet, though little is known about
their specifications.
