Thread: Getting SCO OpenServer floppy disks open on Ubuntu

-

hi all, i'm super unix newbie.

problem:
have old plasma cutting software called cybermation cimtec , on sco openserver os. motherboard died , hard drives freezes @ point when loads.

friend recommended me use more popular unix os. here am. cybermation installation in floppy disks. did things found when searched "floppy" (by including file system: vfat , ext2. able read old windows floppy disks. not able read cybermation disks; error "can't mount file."

missing extension?
how can ubuntu read these floppy disks?
appreciated.



reinstalled sco openserver. website wasn't help. how read floppy drive in openserver?

i'm not familiar openserver 6, 5.0.x. software floppies sco have seen either use "custom" or tar format.

"custom", log in text session root , type "custom" (without quotes). use arrow keys , tab move around. select software->install new -> local machine. media device, drop-down should show "floppy disk drive 0". select , custom examine floppy , present list of software found on disk. select need , go there.

tar, create temp directory , extract files there. assumes floppy first floppy disk in system (fd0):
mkdir /tmp/cmation
cd /tmp/cmation
tar xvf /dev/fd0
after this, there install script or folder contains application file run.

hope helps.
