Support Software Diskettes and on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD. The Support Software ships with each computer or can be
downloaded from the Compaq website. The software tape device driver is
located either with your tape backup software or with the operating system.

Configuring the SCSI ID for SCO OpenServer
In the pre-configured kernel used to install SCO OpenServer, the following
SCSI IDs are automatically set:
■
Disk = 0
■
Tape = 2
■
CD-ROM = 5
To determine the SCSI ID of the new tape drive (if not known):
1.
Run System Configuration and look under “Review or Modify
Hardware Settings,” then “View and Edit Details.” The values reported
for controller number, target ID, LUN, and bus number are used during
mkdev tape.
2.
Boot the computer to single user mode and run the
mkdev tape
command.
