I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...

I remember when SCO actually made and sold software. Somewhere around here I’ve got a set of SCO Xenix 386 floppy disks, sn, AND the activation key! Plus their office software. I also have a copy of SCO UNIX, ODT, and even a copy of Informix 4gl Rapid Development System... Somewhere in my basement!

I set up many a turn-key systems for small businesses (using Mitsubish MP386 systems), and I also remember that one of the earlier manufacturers of grocery store POS scanners (Sweeda) used a “hacked” version of SCO Xenix to run the system. It was terrific.

I hope you mean "point of sales" :-)

I think that's the other SCO.
