Have you considered running OSR5 under VMWare? I've seen several posts
from Bela talking about running various SCO systems with it.

If I had an Intel Mac, I would try it with Parallels (holding off while
waiting for Leopard -- and yes, BillV, I know about the Open Groups
certifying OS X 10.5).

Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact,
every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God;
because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of
reason, than that of blindfolded fear. --Thomas Jefferson
