While this response is cute, it doesn't give the poster any information.
Most importantly, though, since the poster says he wants "a Unix
system to run on my *AT* clone" (emphasis added), and assuming that
by "AT clone" he means an 80286 machine, there is no SCO UNIX for
'286 boxes--only Xenix.  However, SCO is not the only choice for
the '286.  Microport still sells System V/AT, at substantially
lower cost.
