Hmmm, so SCO-ODT does work on some 486's!

Well, I read about 10+ posts in reply to my original post and it seems that
they have all contained some useful information.  What I found was:  1) At
least one person from SCO seems to have a helpful attitude.  This is a far
cry from SCO's technical support asking what kind of computer the customer is
running it against, checking their list, and then telling them to take a
flying leap.  2) There are five system types running ODT on a 486:  HP,
Compaq, Olivetti, Intel 401, Altos 5000.  This will be helpful in knowing
that it doesn't die on all '486's!
 
Other things that are interesting:  People who assail the quality of the
motherboard we're using.  Geez, we checked it out with everything.  Its not
brain-dead and it does run SCO Unix.  How is ODT so different from SCO Unix?
 
SCO's claim that ODT runs on "any '486":  I still wonder about it.  Has
anybody had any problems with installing ODT on a 486?  I know of five
systems that do run it, but what about other systems that *don't*?
