So what version are you running?  SCO 386 Xenix has supported it since
Version 02.02.02 (Which includes 2.2.4 from Tandy and the generic 2.3).

If you still can't find it, it's on device /dev/fd0135ds18.

When I installed 2.3.1 the other month, there were no devices for
3 1/2" floppies.

I had to create them, using mknod.

Read about mknod(C) and fd(HW) in your manual, you should be able to
make it out.

Huh,
Perhaps you bounce on the wrong tree????

We are runnning SCO XENIX 386 2.2.3
I'll can't find the named dev fd0135ds18

Cos we running a scrambled filesystem??
(Many destructive Crashes :-)  )
Well, can you send me something such as a Driver?????

Thanks

Yes, I guess so.  I never considered the possibility that the systems
were significantly different when shipped on 3.5" as mine is.

Still no drivers, but how about

	mknod /dev/fd0135ds18 b 2 60
	mknod /dev/rfd0135ds18 c 2 60
