I received the same card and made a brief enquiry. I was told that there
is no SCSI support (yet?). Also, there is apparently no binary compatability
support (ABI?) for System V.3. (after all, I believe
we are talking about BSD emulation). If this is correct, you won't
have the same flexibility in buying binary-only applications, most
of which are V.3 SCO/ISC.
