- No old copies here. However we do use a few Altos machines and can say
- that they are still in business. Try calling them at 1-800-637-7000. I
- would bet thats the wrong number for what you want, but it is Altos tech.
- support. So someone should be able to give you the correct number.
-
- Im not sure about the older machines (like yours). But I know the current
- Altos OS releases are simply SCO with Altos added features. If all else
- fails you may want to try a version of SCO Xenix from the same era as your
- Altos.
