I need to configure a PV110T tape drive connected to
the Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra SCSI-3 Controller on the
system board of a Dell PowerEdge 1500SC Server to work
with SCO Open Server 5.0.5 Rel 2.4

I have downloaded the following driver from the Adaptec
web site. Can anyone confirm that this will work with
the Adaptec AIC-7899 on the system board.

U160_D~1 EXE 105,719 25/04/02 15:04 u160_drv_sco505.exe

which contains

CREATE BAT 331 22/05/00 15:05 CREATE.BAT
DISKIMG EXE 12,091 31/03/98 14:36 DISKIMG.EXE
README TXT 318 22/05/00 15:07 README.TXT
SCO505 IMG 1,474,560 22/05/00 15:00 SCO505.IMG

Also, can anyone confirm that the following commands
are correct for backing up and verifying the backup
are ok.

find / -depth -print >bkuplist
echo Commencing backup to tape
cat bkuplist | /bin/cpio -ov -O/dev/rStp0 -C10240 -K40000000
echo Checking backup integrity
/bin/cpio -itv -I/dev/rStp0 -C10240
