Does anyone happen to know if there are drivers for UNIX 3.2 that can handle either zip disks or CDR's?
 
First, which version are running. 3.2 can refer to all of the versions of openserver from the last 10 years.
uname -X should tell you the complete version number but most people just refer to the last few digits.
i.e 3.2.5.0.4 = 5.0.4
3.2.4.2 = 4.2
I haven't come across any drivers for zip drives but there is a skunkware package for cdrtools but it may be limited to using scsi cdr writers(not sure).

Thanks for the reply. I will double check the version. Since I'm new to UNIX, what is skunkware? Do you know of any scsi cdr writers for sale?
Thanks again.

Skunkware was sco's distribution of gpl (gnu public licence) software.

Caldera has been screwing around with the sco web site so nothing is where it used to be ARGHHH!

here is a doc for the cdrtools
