How do I use a removeable USB disk drive on SCO Openserver 6? I've plugged it in and the following appeared on the console screen: 5:0,7,0: HBA : (usb_msto,2) USB USB HBA 0,0,0: DISK : ST3500820AS
I'm assuming I'll need to mount it or something! Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Jim.

You need to run mkdev hd Select to add to USB and the device ID's are all 0's You may need to reboot then run mkdev hd again and repeat - this time it will go on to allow you to create filesystems. Give them some names and sizes.
Then if this is permanent run mkdev fs to add a mount point and have it mount at boot, other wise just mount it with: mount /dev/usb-fs-name /mnt
You might want to take a look at the man pages for mount and fstyp to see if OS6 will allow the mounting of a DOS and/or NTFS filesystem. Most of these usb drives come preformatted with a FAT filesystem. Worth a look.
