I shut off my last SCO Unix box in February.
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.
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.

Ick. Floppy-tape--slow and unreliable.
Surely the SCO box must be capable (or already have) a SCSI controller to
hang a DLT or DAT from!
I only need the floppy tape to get the data across once, speed is not an
issue.
But moreover, it all depends on what is already built in to the kernel, and
as I recall, SCO has the QIC-80 driver built in by default. That tape drive
on the machine that died may well be QIC-02 and not SCSI.
