Hi Ephie,

I have ran in similar problems when it came to replace older SCO servers.

I found an easy way to get rid of all HW issues.

I use the SCO 5.0.7V version it is a virtual applicance (ewkrs with VMware and Hyper-V, but I used the VMware one) and works perfectly.
For VMware it has all the VMware tools integrated and you can get support form SCO.

the only thing is that the licencing is special, you have to buy a usage right for a certain number of years.

Here is the link

Hope this helps
