    Has anyone ever managed to get any of these working in ANY emulator? I've had no luck in 86box, PCem, or VirtualBox. All of these either crash the emulator when it attempts to load the filesystem (3.2.2n and 3.2.4y), they don't accept the license key on the page (3.2.4l), or they fail to boot entirely (4.2).

    I uploaded a compiled version of Brandy onto WinBoards.Try to extract the valid serial with it.

    does anyone know which floppy image is the boot image in the 4.2 archive, doesn't seem to be one labelled N1.img?

    4.2 doesn't even boot. I tried EVERY SINGLE FLOPPY.

    `cpstnkko` is the proper activation code, at least for r3.2.4y.

    Here's a link to an updated N1 floppy for 4.2: ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/SLS/uod383bun1.Z (if that link ever dies, here: http://mirror.rqsall.com/ftp.sco.com/pub/SLS/uod383bun1.Z / http://web.archive.org/web/20201130034423/http://mirror.rqsall.com/misc/sco/uod383bun1.Z)

    Got SCO Unix System V 386 r3.2 4.2 to boot on PCem, but it's asking for a tape.

    [3½ Floppy] SCO UNIX System V-386 4.2 (r3.2.4l) (1993) (3.5-1.44mb) seems broken on both download mirrors.

    Fixed. Try it again now. Looks like there was a typo in the download path. Thanks for pointing that out.

    For people looking for a serial for "SCO UNIX System V-386 3.2 (r3.2.4l) (3.5-1.44m)" (the 19.73MB image which is "SCO Open Server Network System 3.0.0" bundle with unlimited users), I looked into my crystal ball and saw those serials:

    SCO133766:ollnxcsy
    WinWrldPC:arbvbrbe

    brandy tool is not useful for "bundled" packages of SCO UNIX (like SCO "Open Desktop" or "Open Server"), since the activation key asked is used to decrypt and build each bundled product own "product key"

    For those who have problems install it, these are the steps that I performed to install it (from linux):
    # Step 1 - Unpack SCO UNIX System V-386 3.2 (r3.2.4l) (3.5-1.44m) and go to that folder

    # Step 2 - create a hdd image, do not create bigger one as xenix will not see them
    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 xenix_hdd 512M

    # Step 3 - start qemu
    $ qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 128 -hda xenix_hdd -fda N1.IMG -boot a -no-fd-bootchk

    # Step 4 - follow the installation instructions, when Xenix will ask you to change the floppy, you can do it from compatmonitor0 (Ctr+Alt+2) and type: change floppy
    # To go back to VGA view, either select it from menu or press Ctr+Alt+1


    Big thanks to aaSSfxx for his crystal ball !
