Tony,

Thanks for your response - actually I realized the reason while reading your article and hitting the word 'bios'.

This server is a Compaq ProLiant 800 series, which of course uses softpaq instead of a more traditional boot ROM, but I recalled that we moved the server a few months back to a new location and that the BIOS battery was probably long dead (due to the age of the hardware), which would have wiped out the settings once unplugged from AC power.

Sure enough, we had been running this server using the default Compaq settings for SCO since the move, without issue save for printing (which we have not done much of since having migrated to a new ERP system this year). This server requires configuration using the old SmartStart disc set, which then autoconfigured the BIOS again, including initializing the parallel port, which was not being done since the move.
