Trying to find a Driver (BTLD and Loadable) to enable Load and use of SCO 5.0.6. Have some customers who need to upgrade older SCO 506 Systems to Newer Dell Hardware. Dell's newer SATA (Optiplex) Systems don't seem to boot from standard IDE/EIDE (PATA) Controller (with SATA disabled)... Dell surprised as well (suggest BIOS problem). I would like to circumvent this EIDE problem by loading on SATA a boot Drive. Any suggestions?

I'm afraid than 5.0.6 (even 5.0.7) is too old for SATA drives.
I've LSI MPT Drivers working for 6.0.0

Hope This Helps, PH.
