I've been checking on use of their "Jumbo" (thats the QIC-40 drive)
since May.  Status :
		6 May 88 Xenix driver not debugged yet, will be done in
			 about 30 days.

		6 Jun 88 Still not ready, about 2 - 4 weeks more.

		28 Jul 88 waiting for SCO to fix "problems with kernal",
			  should be ready in 30 - 60 days.

I'm not holding my breath waiting.
