OT: SCO Release 5 reboots upon printing from filePro

[fpgroups .]

Well, I opened server and the memory it uses are SD-RAM and none of my
other PCs have identical chips.

In the end, I took the HD and the Network card out of dead server /
installed them in another PC and all is well  ;-)

I never thought one could simply do that since OS install is based on MB
architecture and what not ... I am not upset since my SCO box is working
and I have successfully printed from within my filePro application.

Proceeding to get a clean backup!

Thank you all for your assistance.


Jose
