I booted this on my 486 back in the day. That machine had a combo soundcard/modem which gave me fits when I upgraded to a 33.6 later on (Plug and Play, haha. At least I learned how to deal with IRQ conflicts). QNX booted and recognized everything and it just worked, and so fast.
Also keep in mind that at this time, getting Linux working was a crapshoot, I had already attempted and failed to get it running on the same machine, making the QNX disk seem even more amazing.
