I could be wrong on this, but I *thought* Linux would read
just about any *nix drive. You may have to make disk
images (does the "dd" command work in SCO?) copy the images
to your Linux box, re-write 'em using the dd command the
other way and see if that works.
Basically what you'd need to do (assuming "dd" works under
SCO) is dd if=/dev/fd0 (or equivalent) of=<filename.img>
and then just reverse the process when you get the image
files onto your linux system.
