I think this is what you want. they have ISO images on the new SCO website, without a license it should go into eval mode.

I am actually running on Pentium III with the software and backup is a snap. It run so fast that it can’t compare with window . I could run it on linux with Qemu if i want to, and i have 3 backup in linux.

Wow that’s pretty amazing. Are you still using ancient hardware? I guess it makes it a snap in modern ages for backing up… (I hope you have backups!!!!!!!)..

I’m sure stuff that was built to run on 6Mhz 286s, and 16Mhz 386s flies on modern hardware….

I’m sure people must get a kick out of seeing an old install still performing 20+ years later.

i try all newer window version of the same software find them to be too slow and too unstable.

Lord only knows what these people use, but I suspect it’s a lot of FoxPRO and some other crazed POS stuff….

It’d be interesting to see what/how they are going about it..

I actually still see SCO installs going in (goodness knows where they get the licenses and media kits) in 2011 !!

It's been awhile since I installed SCO anything. XENIX was the first UNIX system I ever worked with, and miss playing it.
