sco server recovery

Hi everyone, I am having a problem using SCO

I have used linux for years and actually learned linux command line from a unix book, but this is my first experience with sco.

I have a server that was running sco 3.04 and thoroughbred basic software. It crashed, and the only backup is on some tape drives, I dont know how it was setup or anything I am just supposed to fix it.

I got a legal copy of openserver 5.07 and installed it on a machine with an adaptec scsi card for the tape drive, and regular ide. running the mkdev tape didnt pickup the tape device even after entering the lun and stuff, plus the driver wasnt listed. I also have a copy of version 6, should I use that instead?

I didnt really want to skip too many versions because the Thoroughbred basic compiler that the system uses was compiled for 3.04 so I dont know if it will work on newer machines.

my question is how can I recover from tape? and is there anyway to get USB support?

I would also like to try recover the data from the old hard drive which picks up in bios, but cant boot, because of damaged sectors. any tools can be used to repair? mac, windows or linux?


thanks alot for all and any help
Dmitri
