Moving a driver off a Dos floppy

You can mount dos floppies in sco unix just as if they were formated for Unix.

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

cd /mnt

The only two things you need to note is that Unix will only see 8 letters of the name (so if you named the file whatever.doc unix is going to display it as whateve~.

The second is that you must unmount the disk ( umount /mnt) before removing the floppy disk. If you don't you could cause the system to panic.

BTLD stands for boot time loadable driver, and there are special rules for bringing a btld driver into your unix kernal when not doing an intial install. SCO should have instructions on their web site for this.

See SCO article 105694 and 109501

ahb

AHB(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    AHB(4)

NAME

     ahb -- Adaptec EISA SCSI host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device scbus
	   device ahb

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   ahb_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This driver provides access to the SCSI bus connected to an Adaptec AHA-174X host adapters in ``enhanced'' mode.  Tagged queueing and syn-
     chronous SCSI transfers are supported.

HARDWARE

     The ahb driver supports the following SCSI host adapters:

     o	 Adaptec AHA-1740
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1742
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1740A
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1742A

SEE ALSO

     aha(4), ahc(4), aic(4), cd(4), da(4), sa(4), scsi(4)

AUTHORS

     The ahb driver was written by Justin T. Gibbs.

CAVEATS

     The Adaptec 174X is very sensitive to SCSI bus termination and cable length.  It may also have difficulties operating with some modern
     devices that, due to their speed, expose timing problems in the controller.  There are no known mechanisms for working around device incom-
     patibilities of this nature.
