Actually this information is incorrect - we have tested ODT, SCO UNIX and
SCO Xenix on a number of 486 machines - I don't have a complete list, but
I *know* that we have tested with Compaq's 25MHz 486 DeskPro and with the
Olivetti CP486. As new *clone* motherboards are starting to appear it is
sometimes hard to keep up, but we are *always* interested in seeing new
motherboards (preferably *before* they are released) - we can also arrange
to get copies of SCO product to legitimate h/w developers so that they
can test their new motherboards with our software.

Tom - please feel free to mail me direct about this - I would like to
follow through and find out what is wrong.
