I have the Oracle 7.3.3 CD just in front of me. Did you read more than just the first page of the booklet?

The Oracle 7.3.3 CD for Intel SVr4 containts binaries for the following platforms:

	UnixWare
        Unisys
	Solaris x86

At least thats whats written on page 2.

Actually most of the files seem to be identically for all three of them. I only noticed a couple of files that are contained in three different versions.

It seems to me that it does not matter which CD you order.

There is no Oracle 8.0 port for this platforms.
