You should be able to upgrade to a ML370 G5 or G6, just make sure that the RAID controller is either a P400 or a P212. The newer P410 controllers are not supported. Don't use any of the disk imaging software to replicate the drive, as most don't handle SCO file systems well so you cannot change partition sizes,
Do a fresh install of the OS on the backup system and just restore the backup of the main system to it each day (week?), then if anything happens to the primary system all you have to do is move the network cable.

Maybe LINUX needs an emulator to run old code, something to do coff to elf conversions and run/link the elf ?

Google guy says "you can convert from COFF to ELF using the objcopy tool."

I was wondering if LINUX would be more versatile running old and new 16, 32, 64 bit Windows apps under wine than Windows 7-64 or even Vista-32.

I am using a Progress database running a PECAS business solution.
Strongly advise that you find out what version of Progress you are running.
If your system is set up correctly, just type this command:
Code:
version

The command should respond "Progress version ....".

Your hardware is not 20-years-old but it is possible that your software is.

Well, start building, in parallel, an open source web-based version on cheap, powerful, modern x86_64 HW and disks. You can migrate the current data and changes back and forth in the background in near real time, and have two systems online at once.

The command is version all in lowercase.

An example of an old one:
Code:
version

PROGRESS Version 8.3B as of Fri Jan 29 19:01:10 EST 1999

It's actually a script. The default location is /opt/dlc/version .
In newer releases version is a text file which you can read with cat.
