We just received a DISCOVER newsletter from SCO which contains a patch
that I think will correct your problem.

They say to do the following with the system in 
system maintenance mode:

	adb -w /xenix.new
at the * prompt:
	vpioctl+371?w 88ee
adb will respond with:
	_vpioctl+0x371: 0x88ef=0x88ee
next, type:
	vpioctl+37e?w 88ef
adb will respond with:
	_vpioctl+0x37e: 0x88ee=0x88ef
finally type
	$q 
to quit adb

=============================================================

I assume they mean you should copy /xenix to /xenix.new and 
then boot /xenix.new to test this patch.

They also claim that VP/ix 1.2 will cure this problem. Our sales
rep indicated a $75.00 charge to upgrade 1.1 to 1.2.
