No, it should run OK.  Merge/286 will NOT run, but everything else should.

I'd not bother, though.  Unless you are *really* strapped for $$$ the 
ease of use and freedom from those Damn Segments is worth the cost
of a 386 Unix.  Everex has a version for ~ $500, with a Microport
disk ISC and SCO give trade up discounts, and I'm sure you could
find someone who would sell you a slightly used Microport 3.0e set
real cheap :-)

Have Fun!
