SCO sent me a message saying there's a patch to let SCO UNIX recognize
the hard drive controller on the TP750. That was the only problem I
had - it booted OK off the floppy, I just couldn't do anything afterwards
because it automatically goes into the install routine which died when
it couldn't find a hard drive.

No idea on Linux.
