Assuming the SCO is anything at least relatively modern, such as SCO
Openserver 5, then it is probably formated HTFS.  I had looked into it back
when my company was migrating from SCO to Redhat.

I used to see a commercial implementation available on the web (never tried
it), but it doesn't appear to be available anymore.

The only hope will probably be to try to mount the drive on another SCO
computer, and try to tar the needed files off to tape.

SCO used to provide a free license for non-commercial use, but they don't
appear to anymore.  I had purchased a version years ago for personal use.

Pablo

you'll need to recompile your kernel to include both
FS type support as well as emulation if you want to
run binaries on that system, specifically;

CONFIG_SYSV_FS

is the FS TYPE you want to include as a module, sysv.o


If you get lost there is a paper www.crazytrain.com
under papers, kernel compiling for forensics, that has
the steps that will guide you.   It's for forensics,
but the steps helped me.

If you do the above you'll be able to locally mount
those volumes and browse.

Alternatively if you run that disk and have NFS set up
you could just use NFS to browse the logical contents.
