It will be a fair amount of work to even try though. Assuming a stock RedHat kernel, the support for the SCO filesystem is not included. (I can't remember off the top of my head which type it is though.) So you would have to compile a new kernel with support for that filesystem type. And then there is a chance that you could mount the drive (you will probably have to use -t [filesystemtype] and maybe recover some of the data. It's worth a try. (And if you haven't compiled your own kernel before, you will probably learn something) You can probably get away with loading the redhat config into menuconfig, adding the filesystem support as a module, doing a make modules and a make modules_install without replacing the actual kernel. (I've done similar things to add support for other hardware)
