Have you looked at installing freeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD instead? In about ten
minutes you will feel back at home. Even more so if you came to SCO via Xenix on
the RS16B/6000 platform. Unless you have Xenix 286/8086 binaries, the ibcs
module should allow any 386 binaries you already have to run.

Just an idea if all you want is "command line heaven", rather than all that
pointy clicky stuff.

You might also check out ebay. Stuff like this sometimes shows up. Finding at
least what is a 13-45 year old diskette that is good may be your second problem.

Good luck on your quest.
