Is there a SCO UNIX emulator available for Ubuntu ?

That is probably just an indication that the guest additions are not
available and that it is not formally supported. Not having the guest
additions will make the graphics slower (in case you're using a
graphical desktop), the mouse will not be as fast as it could be and you
won't be able to share folders with the host. I'm not sure whether you
need an officially supported version, but it would be fairly simple to
test whether it works. Since it supports guests ranging from DOS to the
latest Linux and Windows version, I would estimate that there is a
reasonable chance that it will work with SCO UNIX as well.

It's recommended to go with VMWare instead.

But, others have reported that 5 seems to run just fine:

so it might be worth a try. Plus, if you do go the vmware route & later
decide to change, VirtualBox is capable of using VMDK containers formats
used by VMWare</pre>

Worth a try. Thanks<br>
