You're lucky you didn't try running Xenix 2.3.2GT on the early (beta)
revs of the Intel 303 motherboard ('386/33Mhz).  Wouldn't boot at all,
due to an interrupt handling problem.  I found the problem, passed it
along to SCO, who made it into an SLS (xnx151).  Intel has subsequently
rev'd the motherboard, and now all is well.

Kind of.
