My memory of this article is that it uses an obsolete version of SCO UNIX.

I notice that
in recent benchmarks in PW magazine they are still using SCO UNIX 3.2.0, not
the current 3.2.2, and I understand that disk I/O is one area that was
improved.  My memory is that this article used 3.2.1, but that's still before
the driver improvements went in.

I am running SCO ODT 1.0 (upgrading to 1.1 soon) on a 486/25; the final
release of 1.0 seems quite reliable.
