SCO Xenix 2.3.2 GT -- Info/Help

[john donahue]

    After reading all those articles about using SCSI disks in conjunction
with SCO Xenix, I decided it is the thing for me. Currently, I am running
SCO Xenix on my lowly 286 machine but have ordered a brand new, super nice
386 machine which is due to arrive shortly.

	I have heard about this new version called 2.3.2 GT and would like to
know more about it from those of you who have this version and are using
it in conjunction with SCSI drives. One place that I called told me that
to purchase this GT version, I would be charged extra. I am wondering if
that is really fair: or more appropriately; whether it truly is an
extension that SCO charges for and is thus warranted. I don't mind paying
for it if that is the case, but if this "GT" version (which, as far as I
know is merely 2.3.2 with SCSI drivers) is just a simple patch you can
get for free, then I'd like to tell this vendor that I want to buy just
"plain old" 2.3.2 and then get this "patch" myself. If not, and there 
really is more to it than that, then I'll pay the extra amount and order
to "full" 2.3.2 GT. Who out there can tell me how they got their "GT"
version, and how much it cost (if anything) and anything else you
can think of that I might want to know?

	One more, final thing: I also "heard" that there is only a few (or
maybe just one) kind of SCSI controller that this "GT" version
supports. Is this true? It was something like the Adaptec 1410 or
something like that and I would like to know so I can buy one and then
buy any SCSI drive I want and have things work properly. Anybody out
there care to list their hardware setup (with model numbers for the
controller card and any other specifics that are noteworthy to solve
this dilemma)?

Thanks MUCH in advance,
