One of my colleagues (sp?) has SCO ???? running on his sx box and it
looks fine.
40Meg disk is a little low, but with a bare-bone system You might get
away with it. If, however, You want to install things like ODT (or X),
look out for BIG disks (we use 2x76MB, and they're almost full).
4MB mem might be fine, the OS takes "only" about 2 MB, depending on the
number of features You enable (STREAMS, ...)
