I just bought a new computer which has no 5.25" floppy drive,
but my Xenix disks from SCO are 5.25" disks. My old computer
has both 3.5 and 5.25" drives, so I though I could 'dd' from
the original installation disks to 3.5" disks and then install
Xenix. I had done this before with SCO supported software
disks, but now I find that it doesn't work with the N1 (and
probably the N2 and N3) disks. Does anybody know how to
copy the Xenix boot disks??

Thanks-

Bill
