Xenika 1

Xenika 1 is the Unix-based operating system developed and released by TPG. The Xenika 1 defaults a blue, white and orange color scheme. It was released on August 30, 1986.

The interface is highly customizeable. Users are free to make and edit icons and cursors

Xenika can be booted on DOS by typing the run xen command. While booting up, it needed a Kickstarter disk to be inserted into floppy drive to boot up completely. An image of a simple illustration of a hand on a white screen, holding a blue Kickstarter floppy, like in the ads, invited the user to perform this operation. After the kickstart was loaded into a special section of memory called the writable control store (WCS), the image of the hand appeared again, this time inviting the user to insert the Xenika disk.
