Dear readers i need your help,

I have the old UNIX SCO Development System 3.2v4.2 diskette package (3.5" 1.4
MB floppy disks) with the original activation key card.

However 1 disk is probably missing, i only have 10 disks, and when
installing with "custom", i never reach the end of the installation, i suppose
that one of them is missing.

I gave a ring to the national SCO seller and he said "this product is 10
years old, sorry we can't help you"...

If you have this package, you would be very kind to help me, i need an
image of the 11th disk that you could send me via e-mail.

The image copy can be done with :

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=vol11.img

Under windows you can also use the free disk imager "Floppy Image" (save as
"IMG" filetype). It is available here :

http://www.wintotal.de/server/FloppyImage152.zip

Thank you very much in advance if you can help me.

Best regards
Philippe Magne

Please see the post I made in comp.unix.sco.misc. I may be able to assist
you in this. I have to follow agreements with SCO.

Good Luck,

Well,

this is certainly curious - I received this same request yesterday from Philippe
Toillon via private email. Seems a little odd but I suppose there could be two
Philippe with the same identical story that work together. I had intended to
check and see if I could locate my development floppies and see if I could
assist.

Philippe - are you associated with the other Philippe or are these two stories
just really similar.

Hello Brian,

>just really similar.

Indeed we work together, if you can help us you thank you very much in
advance. Of course you can send it to him or to me, as your prefer.

Best regards
Philippe Magne

Philippe and Philippe

I have checked my floppies and I do have the full Development system but it
appears you are missing more than you thought.

I am posting here instead of via private email in case we can get a confirming
opinion from others on the group. My development system is:

SCO Open Desktop Development System
3.5" media 1.44mb
Release 3.0.0

The catch is that mine is 28 floppies - not 10 or 11. From what I can find
of my install I have nothing that was only 11 floppies. While I would not be
opposed to sending you a copy of one missing floppy this sounds as if you are
missing much more than that if you are trying to install the same version I
have.

Dear Brian,

Thank you very much for your help, indeed 28 floppies is really much :-) I'm
afraid this is not the same set, here the original box of this diskette
package cannot physically contain more than 13 3.5" disks, and corresponds
only to the development package (no OS included). The version is exactly the
3.2v4.2 as written on each disk, has probably 11 disks, and we bought it in
1995.

Thank you anyway for trying to help us, it's kind of you.
Best regard
Philippe Magne

Understood. Mine is 4 boxes of 7 for a total of 28 and that is just the
development. The OS is another 3 boxes of approximately 12 plus each.
Original Purchase date - 1993.

Good luck with it. I hope you find that exact match

I pulled out my old 3.2v4.2 set and it consists of the following diskettes:
N1, N2
M1
B1,B2,B3
X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6,X7
Games diskette volume 1

So which one is missing?

One more thing. If you load that version in original form, you will also
need to load the Y2K patches that were released (uod426). Check the SCO
ftp archives. They should still be there.
