Trying to get my SCO UNIX box working with a kingston KNE110TX ethernet card. Since they don't make network cards anymore they stopped supporting them. Can't find anything on their website. Anybody know where I can get one to make this work? The 2 kingston drivers that are built into openserver don't work. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks in advance!

Getting kingston ethernet card drivers for openserver5?

Is this what you are needing? The 4th Driver Down is for SCO.
It appears to me that kingston still fully supports the KNE110TX.

Maybe I spook too soon about Kingston "fully" supporting the card, because their install directions are TERRIBLE.
Here's what you need to do to install the driver.
1) Download the 110_mdi.exe file from the above mentioned web site to any windows machine. This is a self extracting zip executable file.
2) Insert a blank formatted 1.44M floppy into your diskette drive (I am assuming this is your A: drive).
3) Go to the directory where you downloaded the file (using windows explorer) and run the 110_mdi.exe program (i.e. double click on it).
4) The extract program will bring up a window on the screen. Click on the "Browse" button and choose your A: drive, then click "Ok". Back in the extract program click the "Unzip" button. When the unzip is complete, go ahead and close out of the extract program.
5) Click on the "Start" menu and choose "Run". Type "notepad a:install.doc" and click "Ok".
6) In the Notepad window click on "File" then "Print" to print out the install instructions.
7) You should be able to install the network card by following the instructions you just printed, WITH ONE CHANGE. On line 7 of the "DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE" where it reads "In 'Select Media' window, select 'Media Device'.", INSTEAD SELECT 'Floppy Disk Drive 0'. I think the rest of the instructions are ok. If you run into any problems please post again.
