The main issue would be the scsi drivers, the rest is probably working. I did some resarch for a similar project some time ago, but for Sco Unix 3.2v4.2, and had no luck whatsoever. I checked out every virtualization software I could think of, including qemu, vmware, xen and even microsoft virtual server / virtual pc, but I couldn't get any to work with the various scsi - drivers that were available. I also found the patched drivers for Vmware / Sco Openserver, but couldn't get those to compile under Sco 3.2v4.2, so I ended up building new hardware for those boxen. Not the solution I was hoping for. What you want to do is locate the patched drivers for VMware and try those with other solutions, or stick with vmware. Sco 3.2v4.2 didn't have support for IDE drives, but if that is in Sco Openserver it might be a track worth investigating also. The thing that I actually had some luck with, with was iBCS, or rather the newer incarnation, linux-abi. Got most of my application working, including serial port access, but I got stuck on running Oracle. (Don't remember which version of Oracle it was, maybe 4? or 5?, found some indications that a later version (like Oracle 5? or 6?), was supposed to actually be working under iBCS/linux-abi. You might want to check this out if your application isn't to close to the hardware?
