I've never personally installed SCO Unix, but I've heard that it's very picky about it's hardware.

For a legacy data-migration project I am aware of at work, for example, one of the groups was trying to build a second SCO box with the same software as the current (very very old) box, for testing purposes. In order to run it on an old PII they found in storage a patch had to be applied.

Now, I'm sure you're using a more current version than that, but you may run into the same issues. You may need to contact SCO support, if you're signed up with a contract.

well can you let me know as to what kinda patches are reqd. to install sco unix on your pc

You should look at the info on PCUNIX for info on installation, links to hardware supported, patches needed...
