I've been unable to boot IBM Xenix on a Sperry PC/IT.  This wasn't really
a great surprise considering the great lengths much of IBM's software goes
to to make sure that it's running on an IBM PC.  I just wanted to double
check and make sure that nobody else out there has been successful in
booting IBM Xenix on the IT.  I always allow for a margin of error.  By
the way, if any of you are interested specifics relating to the PC/IT (an 
IBM AT clone), send me mail and I will try to answer as best I can.  The
machine is on loaner from Sperry for another week or so.
