I recently received a copy SCO UNIX that my boss wants to install it on my PS/2; I guess to test if the MC (microchannel) version of SCO operating system works with a PS/2. I already have a 120M drive in my PS/2 model 70, and I am using 100M for AIX and 20M for DOS. This means that I must get a separate disk drive, and that too, no less than 100M (may be more). When I called the hardware department of this university, the guys over there did not see very optimistic about the availabity of such drives. I would assume that it would be possible to add larged disk drive, even though these PC type machines do not have SCSI ports, may be by adding a driver board, or something to that effect. Does anybody know if this is possible, and if so, how much does it cost? /B. -------------------- Binod Taterway LUBKT@vax1.CC.Lehigh.EDU User Consultant LUBKT@spectrum.CC.Lehigh.EDU Lehigh University, Beth, PA.

I don't know whether SCO supports that controller. -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu
