I may have an old ISA network card in my basement, or Oren has it from when he took all my extra old cards. You'd have to get drivers and put on floppy, but that would be another answer. I think I probably have a few 3Com ISA cards come to think of it. 3C509-TPO Great cards.

No network option??? What kind of server has no network connection? Even an old BBS would have dial in capabilities.
Stick an Ethernet card in it and use FTP. If there is only 328mb total, the usable data can't take very long to transfer.

I have a client that has a very old 486 server running SCO UNIX 3.2. My job is to get the data off of this machine and get it on
to a Linux
machine. The problem here is that the 486 is ISA bus only. It
does not
have an IDE bus, main system HDD is SCSI (328MB). No network option, tape backup drive does not work either. I want to add a second SCSI disk to the system formatted in DOS FAT16, copy the data over to this drive, and then copy the data back on to the new Linux server. I am having no joy getting this SCO 3.2 system to mount the drive. I don't know how. I mean I know how to mount drives in Linux and AIX
but I fail
to get this done in SCO. Could anyone please advise me on the steps needed to get this drive mounted in SCO?
"no network option" in SCO doesn't mean "no NIC", it means that it's the Host version of SCO, rather than Enterprise. It has no TCP/IP stack. No ifconfig.

A possible "Last resort first" fix seems possible with this.

Under $75 delivered or better prices from Ebay or local shops- but it SHOULD work. And after the "project " is doen, either keep it in your toolset or use it to wipe and format ALL the stack of SCSI drives in your collection- possibily even using them for "Offsite Data Buckets" of data to be safe deposit boxed etc.
