I talked with SCO recently about ESDI drives (for a Dell System 310
with a 90 Meg ESDI drive). SCO has two versions of Xenix for the 386 -
one with a driver for "ST506 bus interface ESDI" and a special one for
"OMTI bus interface ESDI". The O-M-T-I version costs $100 more than the
stock version (ST506), or about $300 more if bought as an upgrade.
