Hi --

I'm cleaning out closets here, and I've come across a copy of SCO
Open Desktop 1.0.0 (!) on 5.25" disks. I've no idea where it came
from, but that's the case with a *lot* of the stuff in this
closet. :-)

Anyhow, if someone would find this interesting/useful, it's yours. I'd
prefer you pay shipping, just so I'm not actually *losing* money on
it. :-) It's a 9 x 9 x 6 1/2" box, weighs five lbs or so (75% manuals,
25% floppies, in three still-sealed floppy-boxes!).

"System requirements:
  For 386 or 486 computers based on Industry Standard Architechture
  or Extended Industry Standard Architecture.

  Minimum requirements include: 6.0 MB of memory; 100 MB of disk
  space; EGA, VGA, Extended VGA, Herculese Monochrome, or selected
  high-performance adapter; Bus or serial mouse (recommended); and,
  3C501, 3C503, 3C523 or WD8003E Network Card (optional)."

It's never been used, so you get the license and activation keys as
well. It's marked "FOR SHIPMENT WITHIN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY", so I
can't guarantee you'll have a legal license if youre not there.

Quickly reading over the blurb, it's got LAN Manager and MS-DOS
support, X11, and an unknown DBMS includeed, and "unleashes the full
power of 386 and 486 machines". Zowie!

Anyhow, drop me a line if you want it. It'll go to the first person to
offer to pay shipping, or, if no-one does, to the first person that's
not too expensive to send to. :-)

SKILL-TESTING QUESTION: I'm not on the list anymore -- please reply
directly to me. (On the off chance the address above fails (brand
new!), try <rich_at_alcor.concordia.ca>.)

Cheers,

  -Rich
