SDMS™ PCI UnixWare Drivers

Building the SCO UnixWare C8XX BTLD Diskette

To create a C8XX BTLD diskette to use with UnixWare 2.1.X or UnixWare 7, 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 C8XX BTLD diskette:

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

2. At the UNIX prompt, type:

   dd if=/<path>/unixware.dd of=/dev/rfd0

   The <path> is where the dd image is located.

   For UnixWare 2.1.X, the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the unixware.dd image in this directory:

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes/unixware/uw21x

   For UnixWare 7, the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the unixware.dd image in this directory:

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes/unixware/uw7

   This command will dd the image to the diskette to create a C8XX 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. For UnixWare 2.1.X, the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the UNIXWARE.DD image in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\UNIXWARE\UW21X

   For UnixWare 7, the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the UNIXWARE.DD image in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\UNIXWARE\UW7

   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 C8XX BTLD diskette for SCO UnixWare installations as instructed.

2. The other DOS alternative is to use the self-extracting image file appropriate for your version of UnixWare. These self-extracting files are located in these directories:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DISKIMAG\UW21X.EXE

   or

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DISKIMAG\UW7.EXE

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