I shut off my last SCO Unix box in February.
Your experience with it is more recent than mine then!
My recollection is that QIC-80 required the FC10, and
it was not built
into the kernel. You had to at least recompile, and it may have required a
special disk from the manufacturer of the FC10 (colorado?). QIC-02 support
was easier if you have any of the drive/controller combos around.
I do have the FC10. I am pretty sure I have the SCO drivers v2.59 for the
Jumbo250 (originally Colorado Memory Systems or CMS, later acquired by HP).
I actually do have a QIC02 drive somewhere, probably have a controller
lurking about, but those are of suspect functionality.
If they still have a floppy drive, and you tell me the
version of the unix
(send uname -A), I'll see if I have the TCP/IP install set. If so, I can
image it and send it along. It supported a limited number of cards, but
the 3c509 was one of them and they are still abundent on the surplus
market.
Didn't installing TCP/IP require one of the infamous 'pink cards' which
would also require a phone-in activation?
