Yeah, I needed to take more time with this, but I got a new license from Microlite for version 3 and I ftp'd the edgesco5.elf file over and installed it. Backup Edge did not find my tape drive, so I now figure that I need to install a driver for the SCSI adapter to which it is attached.
The adapter is Adaptec AHA 2940W/2940UW and I found a driver online that I can download, however it says that it is for the 7800 family manager set. I found my old floppy that says the same thing, and there are some commands written on it that appear to be what I should type in at the Boot: prompt, here is what the notes say:
Code:
ahslink pkg=alad325 replace=routine 21
Does that seem like something that would work? Let me know if I should try this before downloading the driver and trying to make a new floppy. Thanks.

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed width data.

I just now read that there maybe another way to install the driver now that OpenServer is already installed? Should I use the "installpkg" option instead? I could use some guidance as to how I add my Adaptec SCSI driver so I can access my tape drive. Thanks a bunch!

Well, given enough time I seem to have figured out several things on my own. The Adaptec adapter was already being recognized by SCO, and the tape drive was recognized by the server and gave me the SCSI LUN ID information I needed to perform "mkdev tape" and I have the tape drive operational now! I am going to insert my latest backup tape and get a listing of what is on it so I can decide what I need to restore. I am thinking that I want to restore all directories under / (root), because I have no current tech support for my legacy application, and I don't know how many directories it is using - I am sure it was several.
Are there any directories I should avoid overwriting so I don't affect the current "good" installation of 5.0.6? I am pretty sure I had also installed the supplement 5.0.6a update at some point - will that be restored with my backup or should I reinstall that from the CD first? Any guidance will be helpful. Thanks.
