I have a mail order business with a crashed computer (old hardware)
running on SCO 3.2v4.2. We do not have a reboot disk for our system,
and our original install diskettes are no longer functional. Our
situation is extremely tough.

Is there someone out there who could help me out with a set of usable
diskettes with which to reinstall the system? We have our original
license ID and activation key.

I can provide FedEx priority overnight payment info.

MTIA,
Chris Bagby

There is a 99-44/100% chance that OSR 6 will run your application.
Why not download the iso and run it on a modern computer?

You've got like 60 days to move to somthing from this century.

I just realized you may have a tape backup that has a ISA card. Then you'll want
to find someone with around a Pentium 400, 450 or so. Most of those motherboards
had a ISA as well as PCI card slots.

Good Luck.

Any particular hardware? Specifically, is it IDE or SCSI. Is it
perhaps Microchannel? The boot disks for these are different.

I just uploaded the N1, N2, and M1 disk images to my web pile. These
are the installation floppy disks, which might work.

Use RAWRITE.EXE on a DOS or Windoze machine to create the 3.5"
floppies.

Good luck.

Would existing 3.2 v4.2 licences work with v6?

Jeff,
Many thanks. We will try this route. Our hardware is SCSI.

No, but you can use them for an upgrade to 6.0.0
