A SCO partition is subdivided into 'divisions', each of which can hold a filesystem. It can be a real PITA to deal with that under any other OS. Why don't you try creating a tarball of the files the existing system uses, and put that on an ext3 or Reiser filesystem for your testing?

Right now, I have used Ghost to dupe a copy for testing purposes. I thought I would at least be able to mount the drive under Linux and peruse the files however trying to mount a type 63 SCO UNIX (sysv) filesystem does not work. I'm not sure if it's incompatible with Linux or if it's a bum dupe. I read somewhere that I would have better luck mounting the drive under one of the BSD's. ?!?!?!
No idea on if BSDs have support for this. I searched on the OpenBSD mailing list and didn't find any information about mounting SCO drives in OpenBSD. Maybe you know the partition type name and can find it in the man page for mount.
