Mounting a USB DRIVE- SCO_SV

I wish to mount a USB pen drive to allow me copy files from the pc to the pen drive.

when I insert the dirve I get a message

umass Attached: Kingston DataTraveler 2.0, rev 2.0, usb_id 2

The version of unix is SCO_SV.

I cannot see any new file in the /dev folder. I was looking for sda1 or something like that?

Any advice much appreciated.
