With that configuration, the _ONLY_ Unix-like OS's are Xenix 1.0,
Venix and QNX and _maybe_ two or three other items pre-1988. With
more memory, you have more choices and many of them are functional
-- those listedabove weren't adequate for their _own_ time, although
SCO learned fromRadio Shack improved quickly. I know a SuperSport
SX will take more memory and I have run SCO Unix SysV on one --
slowly, but it worked OK.
