SCO

I assumed you meant you had 5 floppies of size 3". If this is 5" floppies the device changes to fd096ds18. Assuming HD floppies.
If they are low density (the earlier version of SCO came with multiple choices of size and density) the devices are fd096ds9 or fd0135ds9 IIRC. Look in your /dev directory for the listing of what is available as my rememberance can be flawed by non-use. My last low density of either size was probably 1995.

Indeed.

And it's a bit of a crap-shoot if a 5.25" disk that old is going to read reliably.

When WILL we see the last of SCO? :-)

Hi, Tony.

I expect we'll be answering these questions for at least another 10 years.

Well, you will. I should be decrepit and senile by then.

I'm already decrepit and senile.

The last time I saw a running 3.2v4.2 was October 2006, so yeah, we'll be seeing these 5.0.7 and (a very few) Sco 6 systems for a while yet.

The problem I have is that my brain is exhibiting bit-rot. Those old SCO neurons don't get refreshed often enough - even for the 5.0.x stuff. I find it ironically amusing when I go Googling for something SCOish and find my answer in something I wrote myself :-)

Ha! If that is the case, then Wiki says that SCO Open Desktop 2.0 is 3.2v4.1 1992.

So, can software for SCO 3.2v4.1 run on SCO OpenServer 5.0 3.2v5.0 1995 ? I assume it can.

Are these really the old 5" floppies? I can't understand the posts so well

Oh, one more thing:

If those ARE MSDOS software disks, it's better to throw up a Linux box and use a Dos emulator under that than mess around with SCO. I suppose you could argue that's a matter of opinion, but I doubt you'll find many willing to take the other side of the debate.

Funny!! I just Googled SCO 2 Perkin Elmer and guess what
