Sorry, nobody wrote a SysV file system implementation yet. So you simply can't use SCO file system floppies. Pick either DOS floppies, or tar floppies. The latter is even easier to handle since you don't need to mount them (they are sequential IO, treated just like tapes). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
