There are 3 BTLDs for the DSA for SCO UNIX-type operating systems. All 3 are named dsa. The original was for SCO UNIX Release 3.2 Version 4.2 and should be used only on that version. Dell added a second DSA BTLD for SCO OpenServer 5.0 and it is to be used only with that version. If that driver is used with SCO OpenServer 5.0.2, it will not allow another hard-disk drive to be added with the SCO mkdev dsa command. Dell rewrote the driver to fix what SCO broke with SCO OpenServer 5.0.2. The dsa driver for 5.0.2 can be delivered to anyone who needs it by calling the Dell server support hotline at 1-800-967-1068.
