Well, you have two options:
Bernouilli box drives -- buggy, but may work. SCO (I >think<) has
drivers for these.
Tape backup drive (ONE unit supported, not two)
Of tapes, both Archive and Wangtek will work. Avoid the QIC-40
(DC2000-based) units, get the DC600/6150 (quarter inch) drives. The FT60,
FT150, VP60 & VP150 all are ok in the Archive line.
All work just fine, either internal or external.
