It's a labour, but please do copytype everything you see on the system console with every space character accurate, then post in code tags.
Though my hopes are declining, the more accurate information you provide will give the hardware experts and the SCO experts the best chance.
Do you have a hardware maintenance contract with the hardware supplier?
Sorry to be alarmist, but do you have a current Backup and a Disaster Recovery strategy?
Ps. To save time, where on the planet is this computer? This question is about finding suitable repairers of 25-year-old computers.
If you have access to any computer technicians, try to get them involved.

- provide truth value about processor type
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The following commands return a true value (exit code 0) if the a processor type matches the command name. Otherwise a false value (exit
code nonzero) is returned. These commands are commonly used within makefiles and shell procedures to improve portability of applications
(see make(1)).
+-----------+-------------------------++--------+--------------------------+
|Command | True for ||Command | True for |
+-----------+-------------------------++--------+--------------------------+
|hp9000s200 | Series 200 ||pdp11 | PDP-11/45 or PDP-11/70 |
|hp9000s300 | Series 300 ||u3b | 3B20 computer |
|hp9000s400 | Series 400 ||u3b2 | 3B2 computer |
|hp9000s500 | Series 500 ||u3b5 | 3B5 computer |
|hp9000s700 | Series 700 ||u3b10 | 3B10 computer |

EXAMPLES
Given a shell script that must behave differently when run on an HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 system, select the correct code segment to be
executed:
WARNINGS
always returns true on both Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Therefore, when using this command in scripts to determine hardware type,
always use both and in the appropriate sequence to ensure correct results (see
machid(1) will no longer provide support for future machines beyond the Series 800 and Series 700 systems. Decisions should be based on
the hardware and software configuration information returned by getconf(1).
