Minimal H/W configuration???

I'm contemplating buying SCO Unix and I'm in the baby step stage (deciding
if I want to justify spending the money, in other words).  In any event,
I'd like an opinion as to whether my hardware situation will require
upgrading, meaning even more of a cash outlay.  Soooo, here's what I have:

	80386 20Mhz processor w/2Mb interleaved memory
	60 Mb RLL hard drive w/controller
	Hercules compatible mono adapeter & monitor (I know, yuk!)
	AMI Bios (don't recall rev. level, but its recent)

I called SCO who refered me to a dealer that is no longer in business so
rather than running around perhaps someone can give me an idea as to whether
anything I have is grossly incompatible.  My biggest concerns are memory
and the bios.  Thanx for any input...
