RocketPort® Series Device Driver for the SCO UnixWare 7 Operating System Software Installation Card 1 of 8
Before You Begin
Before you install the RocketPort device driver for SCO
UnixWare 7, you must:
• Install the RocketPort card or cards using the
Hardware Installation Card that came with your card
or download it from the web/ftp sites.
• Remove any older RocketPort device driver that may be
on your system.
• Obtain and extract the current driver files.
Removing the Existing Driver
Follow these steps to remove the existing RocketPort
driver:
1. Log in as the system administrator (root) and invoke
the pkgrm utility. Use this syntax:
pkgrm rckt
2. If you have other drivers to remove at this time, do so.
3. Shut down and reboot the system so that your changes
take effect.
shutdown -y -i6 -g0
Extracting the Driver Files
This driver is released in a .z file. The package is released
with the following file name format:
180xxxxY.tar.Z
where:
180xxxx is the Comtrol file name.
Y is the revision letter.
tar.Z means that the file has been compressed.
Note: The doscp command does not exist in UnixWare 7.
The following procedure requires that you have
Skunkware
™ loaded so that you can use the mcopy
command.
1. Insert the diskette that contains the UnixWare 7 file
you downloaded.
2. Copy the 180xxxxY.tar.Z file from the floppy to the
/var/spool/pkg directory. For example:
mcopy a: 180xxxxY.tar.Z /var/spool/pkg/180xxxxY.Z
3. Return to the command prompt as root, go to the /var/
spool/pkg directory, and type the following commands
to create a directory structure named rckt.
uncompress 180xxxxY.Z
tar xvf 180xxxxY
4. Go to Installing the Device Driver to install the driver.
Installing the Device Driver

driver, follow these steps to install the RocketPort driver.

(root), and invoke the pkgadd utility.
