I realize this is a long shot, but I'm looking for disks N1-N3
(96dshd) for Systen V/386, release 3.2.0. "dd" images would be
great, or even something like Winimage files.

Thanks!

Adding the dots and stuff shouldn't be hard.

Are you talking about Xenix, 5.25" diskettes?

No, I'm talking about SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2.0

I wouldn't mind having a copy of Xenix/386, but that's not the OS
for which I have a license.

I have SCO Unix (type ku386) 3.2.4s. 5.25" or 3.5" .Comes with M1,N1,N2,
not N1-N3. Let me know if you can use that and what size and will try to
send them to you. Hopefully they will still be good.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm pretty sure they won't work with my Bx
and Xx disks, and I'm almost positive that my license keys won't work
with 3.2.4. If they will work, I'd be very glad to have them.

If you have the means to make dd images of the 5.25" disks and can email
them to me, my address is doc -at- mdrconsult -dot- com. Worst case, I'll
spend a half-hour finding out they won't work.

Maybe somebody more familiar with the licensing can answer whether a
key for 3.2.0 will apply to version 3.2.4.

I'm not too sure about the licensing, but I can guarantee you that you
will not be able to install from a combination of 3.2v4 M1/N1/N2 + 3.2.0
rest-of-set. Among other things, M1 contains an index of where to find
all the files (which disk for which file). Between those two releases,
files not only moved around, but 3.2v4 has many additions. The install
would fail pretty much the instant you fed it any 3.2.0 disk.

The install was so media-specific, you need to state whether your 3.2.0
set is "GT" or "MC" and whether it's 3.5" or 5.25" images.

Also, I'm not 100% sure, but pretty sure that the _license_ is also
media-specific. So you can't even get out of it by requesting anyone's
3.2.0 image set: it _must_ be the right choice of that 2x2 matrix.

And wrt to all this, all the links for downloading images listed at
http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/scotec1.html#downloadboot seem to be gone..
anyone know if they still exist somewhere else?

I checked the above link, used google to look for links for
SLS/unx365b.n196.Z and found Google cache listing:
www.funet.fi/index/Caldera/.mirror.log - 101k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages

And tried ftp://funnet.fi and found no folder for Caldera or SCO. Although the
ftp log says that they are getting files from ftp.caldera.com, the log shows
them unlinking the files after they get them??? Otherwise a very interesting site.

However, going to ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/SLS/ I see unx365b.n196.z

So you may just need to update your links and change "stage" to "ftp".

And insert "pub".

It's really annoying that SCO can't leave things where they put them..
