Important!

The Pentium® II processor in this system is designed to support 32-bit operating systems and applications. To ensure optimum system performance, use only

32-bit programs on the system.

SCO UNIX versions 3.2.4.2 and ODT 3.0 require both MPX 3.X and APIC Driver 1.X to support more than one processor.
