This damn box runs SCO UNIX out of the box! I don't know what (and how much) Corollary had to do with SCO to get that (and had it rolled into the distribution), or even if anything was needed. The MPX work was surely supplied by Corollary. Additionally, the box will also boot and run DOS. You have to to be able to run the EISA config. When this box is ready for pasture, I think I will give 'er a go. Might even get adventurous and see what it would take to run on more than 1 of the two processors. :-) b. -- Brian J.
