SDMS™ PCI OpenServer Driver

Building the SCO OpenServer BTLD Diskette

To create a BTLD diskette for SCO OpenServer installations, copy the raw dd image file onto a 1.44 Mbytes diskette. This process is dependent upon the operating system that you are using to create this diskette. See the instructions below for UNIX System and DOS System Users.

For UNIX System Users

Follow these steps to create the BTLD diskette:

1. Insert a blank 3.5-inch diskette into the diskette drive.

2. At the UNIX prompt, type:

dd if=/<path>/sco.dd of=/dev/fd0135ds18

The <path> is where the dd image is located. The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the sco.dd image in this directory:

{UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes/opnservr

This command will dd the image to the diskette to create a BTLD diskette.

For DOS System Users

Under this section, DOS system users have two choices.

1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbytes diskette. The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the SCO.DD image in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\OPNSERVR

   RAWRITE3.COM, which is a public domain utility, is available on this CD-ROM in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.COM

   Instructions for using this utility are included in its accompanying RaWrite file or as a Microsoft Word document located at:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.DOC

   After the image has been copied to a 3.5-inch diskette, use this BTLD diskette for SCO OpenServer installations as instructed.

2. The other DOS alternative is to use the self-extracting image file that is located at:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DISKIMAG\OPNSERVR.EXE

   Information on how to use a self-extracting image file is located on the Build Driver Diskettes page.
