I use the board under SCO XENIX and MS-DOS 3.3.

None.

The OS/2 driver is available from Adaptec in California 408-945-8600.

It has a complete INT13 BIOS for hard disk support under DOS.  SCO XENIX
supports (2.3GT) it directly, and ISC supports it directly.  There is
a SY-TOS package available for tape backup under MS-DOS.  There is also
Novell drivers available.  To get any of the software, call the number above.
