Dear,
The problem details are listed below. Kindly help in resolving the problem
Early reply to this will be highly appriciated.

1. What your OS and version is:
Ans: SCO 5.0.0

2. Hardware info if applicable to your question
Ans:
Server ASUS mother board CUR_DLS with server work LE 3.0 Chipset/ 256MB
RAM/2*18GB HDD/52x IDE CDD/1.44 FDD
SCSI CONTROLLER -- SYMBIOS U160 with SYMBIOS 53C1010
SCSI BTLD downloaded from URL
BTLD details : BTLDPCI 4.11.00 - 08/29/00

3. What you were trying to accomplish
Ans: Install SCO 5.0.0 OS

4. What you did
Ans:
a. Booted the machine with SCO 5.0.0 OS floppy
b. at "boot:" prompt typed `link`. After memory sizing is over, it is asking for
slha BTLD floppy.
c. When prompted for the driver to be linked gave "slha" (as suggested by the
driver vendor).
d. Immediately then the following error comes and slha fails to get loaded

slha.slha: loading Module fd(60)/slha/driver/slha/Driver.o .text
slha.slha: loading Module fd(60)/slha/driver/slha/Driver.o .data
slha.slha: loading Module fd(60)/slha/driver/slha/Space.o .data

slha.slha: Function "i" not supported;ignored fd(60)/slha/driver/Driver.o;symbol
"bcmp" not found

slha: Driver "slha" not loaded

And then it is asking for SCO Boot floppy, and then it hangs with mesg tptrinit

5. What you expected to happen
Ans: Driver to get properly installed.

6. What actually happened
Ans: As mentioned above the SCSI BTLD installation failed with error.

NOTE: THE SAME DRIVER IS WORKING FINE WITH SCO 5.0.5.

Kindly help me in installing SCO 5.0.0 OS on disk connected to SYMBIOS U/160
SCSI controller with SYM53C1010.
