I haven't tried BellTech or SCO Unix - but I have tried and am running
Interactive Unix which I runs very well.  I admit, it took some time to
get the system fully "tweaked" - but she's running - and very solid.    

SCO Unix has the "Acer" file system - which is supposed to be almost
as fast as what is being used with the ISC product.   

Whatever your choice, if you plan to be doing some heavy IO, you might
want to consider a smart serial board to keep the primary CPU from becoming
bogged down doing IO.
