Hi,

you have to check also your mouse-configuration, because the mouse driver
is an event driver. I had a lot of problems installing ODT the first time
because of a too little swap area X won't start. Another problem might be
if you have a Microsoft Busmouse because SCO ODT won't go with that mouse.
You should reinstall the mouse in single user mode with mkdev mouse, re-
build the kernel and restart the system by typing init 6.

Good luck

Organization: Somewhere just far enough out of Toronto

Since I haven't seen any information here on the subject, I figured
there might be some interest in UnixWare, the initial 80X86 UNIX
product of the joint venture between USL and Novell.

There is a *pile* for information available for anyone with a fax
machine and a few spare rolls of fax paper. One of the choices available
by calling 800-4-UNIVEL (801-568-8548) is a "faxback" system which allows
you to request one of a number of documents. You can order a catalogue
(actually, there are four catalogues), but I can save you some time by 
giving some specific document numbers for the most important ones:

Company & Product Overview (10pg)	2010
Pricing and Availability (5pg)		2015
Product Datasheet/Brochure (6pg)	2020
Univel Software Developer Program (6pg)	4010
Hardware Compatability Test Program (?) 4050

The complete "Hardware Compatability Handbook" is also available this
way, but watch out --- it's 68 pages! It's split into sections, each of
which is a separate FaxBack document number:

Computer Systems	2035
Host Adaptors		2036
Network Adaptors	2037
Tape Drives		2038
Mass Storage Devices	2039
Multiport Adaptors	2040
Video Adaptors		2041
Multi-Video Adaptors	2042
Terminal Servers	2043
X Terminals		2044
Pointing Devices	2045
Printers		2046

I will try to post more information on the issue, once I get back from
out of town. We only received our Univel Dealer Authorization last week
and there's much to learn.

It's time to buy more fax paper.

Not too many years ago, the only ups with automatic shutdown for small
Unix systems (that I could find) was Elgar.  There is in fact one on
the machine I am using now, I have been happy with it.  Elgar has changed
its name to Network Security Systems.
 
American Power Conversion (APC) finally added Unix to it's list of 
autoshutdown products.  I have used both APC & Elgar/NSS on client projects.

Distribution: world
Organization: Explosive Space Modulators - R - Us

My company still has a number of Digichannel Digiboard PC 8e cards that
are surplus to our needs.  These were purchased for a networking project
and never used.  They are new in the factory box and include the
factory manual and warranty card (5 year).

The PC8e is an "intelligent" card, that is it has a coprocessor on it
to offload the host CPU.  The card uses 1 IRQ to support all 8 ports.  To
run it as COMn thru COMn+7 on a DOS machine you need to use a driver.

There are drivers availiable for all of the common PC unixes, both 3.2
and SVR4, Novell, PC-MOS, FOSSILs (for BBS systems), OS/2, and general 
MS-DOS INT 14 drivers.  You can download them all from Digiboards BBS 
at 612 943 0812 or I can enclose them on floppies.

It has an AT style interface, and thus works in 286/386/486 ISA bus systems.

Price is $200 + shipping.

List price from Digichannel is $800, needless to say we are taking
substantial loss on them and we just want to get them out of our 
storage space.

APC makes excellent UPSs and UPS shutdown software for SCO.  I highly recommend
it.

Great!  R4's cpio is a real botch.  If you have a mix of r3 and r4 machines
connected with NFS or RFS there is no way to use a single command (say
a shell script executed over the network mount point) to make an archive
of files that will be readable on any of the machines.  At least not
without some seriously ugly contortions.

Also, I use a script to copy directory trees around that ends up using
cpio -p to do the work and I've noticed that copying from an r4 UFS
filesystem to an r3 sysV filesystem over RFS leaves the date wrong on
the destination.  For some reason make doesn't work well when all of
the targets exist with dates 20 years in the future and you just touched
all the sources.  Will GNU cpio fix this as well?

YOu did it all right.  The problem is the tape device that you are 
attempting to use.  With ISC 3.0, the scsi tape devices were named 
with the following format: 

	/dev/rmt[ctrlr]t[lun]

So if your exabyte is on the first controller and is at lun 4 the
name will be:

	/dev/rmt0t4

We have used an Exabyte 8500 for quite a while with no problems.

The only issue is that while the drive is capable of writing 8200 
compatible tapes, there is no way under ISC to get it to do so (you
can't send the SCSI command to the tape drive).

Umm...

I suggest '! -type d'.  '-type f' only gets regular files.  Symbolic
links, for example, are not regular files.

Of course, how often do people combine 'find' with 'tar'?  Don't people
usually just let 'tar' walk the tree itself?

  I really like AIR. We have a lot of systems here using their boards
and they run DOS, OS/2, Xenix, ODT, Dell 2.1/2.2, Windows3, WindosNT and
Linux very well. We have 486/33 and 486/50, in ISA and EISA. Available
with Pheonix or AMI BIOS (we like AMI better in this board).

  Systems range from 3 years to 3 weeks old, so they have a continuing
track record. Boards are available from Stellar Computer (sorry I don't

I had a similar problem when trying out OS/2. I solved it by making a script
to make patched copies of the 'dos' file to boot other partitions. It works
for SCO Unix 3.2.2 and 3.2.4 dos files but I do know that the Xenix 2.3.2 
dos file is the same as in Unix 3.2.2 so others probably are too.

I think this gets over the piracy problem!

We are using Unipower PS8.0's from Unison (3 workstation/UPS with the

a Soundblaster, and now SCO hangs on the hardware screen. It does this
on two different machines.
Whats the problem? SoundBlaster causes no problems with 3 other OS's including
another 386 unix.

  Before I tell people to buy workstations, does anyone sell a high
performance video system which will run under ODT or Dell V.4? We're
looking for 24 bit color at resolutions of 1152x900 and/or 1280x1024
and/or 1280x960. At this res obviously you need acceleration.

  Within the bounds that the price is less than going to a workstation
with a similar capabilities.

  We currently run 1280x{1024,960}x16, 1024x768x256 and 800x600x24b, but
there isn't enough memory on the card to give us the colors and the
resolution at the same time.

I belive that would be known as "Software Piracy" - something you may wish to
ask your lawyer about.

You are welcome.

You can't use uugetty (or getty for that matter) to check
/etc/inittab, you must use a gettydefs-like file.

You don't get a login prompt, because you specified -r.

See the man page for uugetty.
