DVD RAM on SCO 5.0.7

I've had trouble doing backups to DVD-RW drives so I purchased and installed a DVD-RAM drive (external SCSI). SCO hangs during the hardware listing for the first SCSI host adapter (which has the UNIX drive and the DVD-RAM drive). Has anyone ever got a DVD-RAM drive to work with SCO UNIX 5.0.7? I thought that SCO would see no difference between a DVD-RW drive and a DVD-RAM drive. One other thing: all of my DVD-RW drives are 16 bit wide, whereas this DVD-RAM drive is 8 bit wide--but the SCSI connector is still Ultra320 as before. Note: my system is dual boot--SCO on one SCSI host adapter port and Windows 7 Pro 64 on the other SCSI host adapter port. On the Windows side, all the DVD drives work fine!
