No, your clone might run OS/2.  I myself have a Northgate 16 MHz 80386 with
an Adaptec 2372 RLL (!) controller and a Microscience 65MB hard drive.  With
only 2 MB of RAM, I am able to install and run IBM (True Blue) OS/2 Extended
Edition 1.1 without a problem (although with only 2 MB, it runs like a dead
dog).  Personally, I run SCO Xenix, but I had this copy of OS/2 I had received
from Microsoft and I wanted to see if it would run with my RLL controller.  Sure
enough, it did!
