My first "real" job was heavily involved with SCO. We (SecureWare) wrote
the C2 subsystem for SCO (among other interesting things).
BTW...To actually load this software, there should be a blue or pink card
with a serial number on it. I don't know if the current free SCO license
covers stuff this old.

Does anybody have an unneeded Qic24 SCSI tape drive? I checked Ebay and
I didn't see anything that I thought was what I needed.
Pretty much any drive that reads 60MB DC600A tapes should be able to read
these tapes, assuming it has a controller supported by the install program.
I remember using Wangtek and Archive non-SCSI drives & controllers.
This is going back into a very fuzzy memory...but does
anyone know
if an Archive 2150S drive (QIC-150) will read QIC-24 tapes?
Yup...a 2150S (or 2060S, I suppose) should read these tapes, as will other
SCSI drives that read DC600As. As I recall, the Adaptec 154x controllers
are supported by the install software, among others.
