My first "real" job was heavily involved with SCO. We (SecureWare) wrote
the C2 subsystem for SCO.

To actually load this software, there should be a blue or pink card with a
serial number on it.

Pretty much any drive that reads 60MB DC600A tapes should be able to read
these tapes, but you will need to find a supported controller. I remember
using Wangtek drives & controllers.

Yup...a 2150S should read these tapes. I'm pretty sure the Adaptec 154x
controllers are supported by the install software.
