Creating a VM

Also, in my tinkering around I was able to get SCO installed on a VM, using VM Workstation version 12.5 in a Windows 7 Pro-64 computer. I chose the VM Workstation 8.x compatibility model for my VM, an IDE hard drive at 0:0 and an IDE CD Rom at 1:0 using the physical drive of the computer. Using the defbootstr command at installation it went like a champ. I even installed the keyboard mouse and the graphic screen/mouse is working. The only problem I have is I can't find instructions about how to install the network card driver. I selected "bridge mode" when I created the VM, and SCO did not recognize my NIC at installation, it is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family NIC on the mother board. I believe it is compatible with 5.0.6a, and I think I found the driver, but I have no clue how to get it installed. My only option is from a CD (I think) and I don't know how to do that. The Software Manager does not recognize what I downloaded and burned to the CD as "software" and I am clueless - could you advise me? I can't find any instructions online. I would like to have this VM as a "backup" plan, I would not use it unless the physical server goes down again. Thanks again for all your help.

Run netconfig to add a new network card.
How the driver is installed depends upon the format of the device driver file.

If it is VOL.000.000 then it is installed through 'custom'. Otherwise it may have a setup or intall binary or script, or it may install using pkgadd.

install_mouse

install_mouse(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					    install_mouse(3alleg4)

NAME

       install_mouse - Installs the Allegro mouse handler.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int install_mouse();

DESCRIPTION

       Installs the Allegro mouse handler. You must do this before using any other mouse functions.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns	-1 on failure, zero if the mouse handler is already installed (in which case this function does nothing) and the number of buttons
       on the mouse if the mouse handler has successfully been installed (ie. this is the first time a handler is installed or	you  have  removed
       the previous one).

       Note  that  the number of mouse buttons returned by this function is more an indication than a physical reality. With most devices there is
       no way of telling how many buttons there are, and any user can override the number of mouse buttons returned by this function with a custom
       configuration file and the variable num_buttons. Even if this value is overridden by the user, the global mouse variables will still report
       whatever the hardware is sending.

SEE ALSO

       remove_mouse(3alleg4), poll_mouse(3alleg4),  mouse_x(3alleg4),  show_mouse(3alleg4),  get_mouse_mickeys(3alleg4),  position_mouse(3alleg4),
       set_mouse_range(3alleg4), set_mouse_speed(3alleg4)
