I had a chance to get one of the Sperry boards, and called SCO to see
if it would work on non-Sperry systems. They told me it would. The
Sperry guy I got it from also indicated that they were running it in a
clone in the Sperry office (the customers get delivery on machines
before the offices).
I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but all parties seem to think it
would work. The person I spoke with at SCO said that the whole story of
special support was not related to the board I have.
Note I haven't tried it, I just asked the people who should know.
