Can Linux run QNX version 2 programs?
Does it support inputting/outputting to serial cards.
We have a system that was running QNX but can no longer can get it to work
with a serial card after a hard disk failure. Though maybe trying Linux and
running QNX program under Linux operating system (if byte compatible)

The only remote compatibility would be at the source code level. Even so,
Linux will not have the same message passing primitives, and there will
probably be many small differences. QNX 2 was designed before the POSIX
standard existed, and it was not intended to be a UNIX clone.

You could run it in a simulator - bochs or plex86 might work.
