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

AIC(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual AIC(4)
NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)

BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The
driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
levels of testing of the devices.
