I'm upgrading my current '386 system as follows and would like to know
if there is any things that I should know before purchasing hardware/software.

I'm currently running Xenix on a 2Mb Ram system with 2 hard disks, a 80Mb
and a 72Mb both MFM.

I want to upgrade to 10Mb Ram and a CDC 94186-442 ESDI hard disk with a
WD1007V-SE2 or WD1007-WA2 controler.  I will
probably get SCO Unix 386 since I have not been able to find a BSD port to
the '386.

Will the proposed upgrade work?
Is there anything that I need to know about the disk/controler combination?

I would appreciate any input before I make an expensive mistake.

Thanks,
