Your experience with it is more recent than mine then!

I do have the FC10. I am pretty sure I have the SCO drivers v2.59 for the 
Jumbo250 (originally Colorado Memory Systems or CMS, later acquired by HP). 
I actually do have a QIC02 drive somewhere, probably have a controller 
lurking about, but those are of suspect functionality.

Didn't installing TCP/IP require one of the infamous 'pink cards' which 
would also require a phone-in activation?
