@hicksd8 - yeah I searched the BIOS for a setting like that and I couldn't seem to find it. I will check again though.
@gull04 - The backups were done with HP SureStore Dat24 internal tape drive, using Microlite BackupEdge "Full Backups", and the tapes are Sony DGD126P type. Like I might have mentioned, our legacy software that runs on this machine is used for looking up historical data, and not an active server. When I was experimenting with the VM I had copied most everything over from the physical machine using ftp and cpio. The legacy app on the VM will not run though, I think because I did not copy over the entire /etc directory, and the reason is that when I got the restore to work in a previous hardware replacement I had to "exclude" the /etc.config file (I think that was the one). Anyway, when I had both the physical and virtual machines running I tried to compare the /etc directories to see which ones I needed, because using cpio on each one was too time consuming. Now I wish I had spent the time to try each directory, because I feel something is missing from there that my app needs to run correctly. I have purchased a newer USB HP SureStore DAT24 drive, but I have not had any luck "attaching" it to the VM so that the SCO installation will recognize it. I don't know what the options are as far as restoring the data - would it work to restore it to a Windows machine or VM? I have all kinds of resources here (thankfully) as far as Windows XP and Windows 7 working models. I also can probably purchase anything that I might need to get this job accomplished.
I can also try to replace more parts in the physical server, so far I think I have eliminated these as the problem: video card, monitor, hard drive, memory (tested OK), IDE cable, PATA/SATA adapter, power supply. Any suggestions are, as always, greatly appreciated.
