At some time in the past we have installed both the Interactive 2.2 and
SCO (not sure about the version number) on Toshiba laptops, with no
problems.  That is, we got the core systems and uucp running.

Unfortunately, the unit in question had a 40 MB hard disk drive, so
nothing else would fit!

Performance seemed tolerable, except when we made it swap, but that is 
to be expected.
