I shouldn't say this but if you make a couple more posts on this site you will be able to post screen shots.


PS. I am in UK time and it's getting late. I trust that those across the planet who are awake will look a this thread and add their contribution.

This is a hardware failure long before you get to SCO.

From the error message talking about ROM shadow it appears that that you have a memory problem where it is attempting to load ROM code into a RAM segment.

Think I saw one of these a long time ago but didn't get interested in the hardware details.

You may want to look at the OS version again. Don't recall a 5.0.06 but SCO put letters at the end of the version on the boot floppy that created confusion. I suspect you have 5.0.0.

If it is a memory problem you may have issues getting parts. You might consider replacing the hardware. DELL stuff that will handle the OS is selling on the used market for under $25 if you can reuse the I/O gear and reload the operating system and applications.
