Where do you read that anything as old as SCO Unix 3.2v4.2 is supported
by esx4?
And why would you want to keep running such an antique operating system?

Sir, you are unlikely to be able to do this. There are only certain
types of network and disk controller that are supported by VMware
virtualization: If you're using a SCSI controller, I found that the
supported BusLogic controllers took SCO OpenServer 5.0.7's init
floppies to start an installation. Unless VMware ESX 4 supports ATA
emulation, you're probably out of luck. If VMware ESX 4 does not
support that, you might actually be better off with VMware
Workstation, which *does* support ATA emulation.
I appreciate that you might want to preserve your ancient setup in a
virtualized environment: that's much more reliable than trying to find
hardware these days that will run such old hardware. I'm afraid I
don't have the necessary floppy image for that ancient OS.

I'm mickey man, i reply to you about sco3.2v4.2 under vmware
escuse me for my English, I'm French
I managed to install vmware sco3.2v4.2 under ESX4 (vsherr4) This
version recognizes the IDE drive formatted buslogic,
must change a setting in the BIOS for vmware disabler LBA mode, I
guarantee it works in vmware4 (vshere 4)
I use the floppy image format (. flp)
I have not yet installed the network that I have no floppy X5 and can
not finish installation
sco
because my company uses an old server to compile a very old
application for some customers
I want to virtualize before my old server fail
