SCO unix will run on an sx.  I've been running an PCBrand sx with it
for severral months.

Disk: not if you want to do anything.  Base OS+extended utilities
(things like csh and vi)+swap run about 32MB.  Thats without
networking, dos or X.  Certainly without any development tools.

Memory: 4 is probably fine if your not running X and/or lot's of
people logged in.

Memory is measured x8.
