This is off-topic and you should ask this in a SCO related group.
Why do you want to use SCO anyway? As far as I know SCO has a problem with
larger disks because they use a 16 Bit selector in their drive code. I'd
recommend using Linux instead. It has no problems, a huge supporting knwoledge
base, is faster and free. You can also use SCO binaries. I installed the
Oracle SCO version on Linux and it worked flawlessly so I'd go for Linux
instead of SCO.
