Try http://pcunix.com, or better, http://aplawrence.com/Blog/B647.html - 
Tony's site is the definitive SCO resource.

You will probably have even more luck using google groups to search 
comp.unix.sco.misc - I've seen this answered there in the last 12 
months.  From memory Linux will only recognise the SCO partitions if the 
entire disk is formatted into one SCO partition.  Any more and you are 
pretty much stuck booting SCO.  The basic install is likely to have at 
least three (boot, root, swap).

Can you remove the drives from the machine and mount them into another 
machine, or do you just have one controller?
