And yes, it did get most of its bits from the tape; we had an Everex QIC drive of some sort attached. I remember going through some grief to get it configured (more preceisely, re-configured after some biscuit of a QA engineer installed TWG's TCP/IP then decided he needed SCO's TCP/IP, which of course forced re-installation of the whole thing), but it was long enough ago to be on topic here and I no longer remember the details, except that I wrote them down and taped the paper to the tape drive which is long gone. Open Desktop is a SCO/Motif flavored X GUI. If you really want to use the GUI stuff, give it more oomph than Wollongong did: it was painfully slow on that Compaq. Along about 1995 the system was being used more for testing a "SCO ANSI" terminal emulation and I worked out how to make it not start X on boot, and it continued running that way (off in a corner with almost no attention) until April 1999 when Attachmate shut down the former Wollongong offices. -Frank McConnell
