SCO 5.0.5 media needed

Date: Sun Oct 19 2008

We run a very old sco server and need to re-install (once every ten years;-)

Unfortunately, even if my licences are okay, the CD is missing in the dusty box.

I contacted SCO with no luck, the product is discontinued
Maybe someone here could help me with providing an iso image
thank you in advance

Note from Tony Lawrence August 2009:

I do have a zipped image of 5.05 media.

If you'll send me an email, I'll make arrangements to get it to you.

I threw all that stuff out a few years ago. You do see this stuff on E-Bay now and then.

Another thought is to use Microlite Edge or Lonetar to make bare-metal restorable backups. See "Transferring to new hardware with a Supertar" at http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/supertarxfer.html

And I'd also suggest posting at comp.unix.sco.misc

I may still have the 5.0.5 media around here -- I'm a bit of a pack-rat in that regard. I'll search the dungeon (closet under the stairs) and see what I can see. The question will be how to get copies into your hands.

Try pulling it from here:

ftp://ftpput.sco.com/tmp/osr505.iso.zip

It's there. You just can't browse the directory.

Hello,

Currently I have the same problem as qube.

I have to re-install sco server - and same as qube licences are okay, and one of the cd`s is missing.

I`ve tried with the server mentioned below but the file is already gone frome there.
If there is some possibility of putting this image again on this ftp (or any other) I will be very grateful for helping me with my issue.

Thanks in advance

Here is my office adress: pawel.antoniak@telzas.com.pl
It will be really big help for me if you will be able to provide me this media anyhow...
