This is what i was also thinking i.e boot a Ubuntu 16.04LTS USB stick on another laptop computer with both drives connected ( current T30 IDE 60GB and new IDE Drive ).
I assume you must used same controller type i.e IDE on the other computer and not USB slots with old and drive attached ? or does it matter. ? I have a HP laptop with 4 usb port. ( I will get some enclosures and cables to house this IDE HDD)
I will give this a go if its possible using Ubuntu DD cmd to disc copy the SCO 5.0.5/Oracle 7 HDD.
