Yes, I tried it this morning with success (I tried only SCO ODT).

First you have to attach a SCSI device to activate the controller
in the docking station. Then I tried to run the SCSI diagnostic comming
with the docking station. It identifies the adaptor type as 
"Future Domain TMC 850/860/875/885".  Next step was to configure this type of
adaptor under SCO (this is one of the supported devices) and it worked 
from scratch. I was able to mount a CD-ROM under UNIX and to read from it.

Now I'm waiting for the internal SCSI kit to try to install a SCSI hard disk
within the docking station.... I'll keep you informed when it arrives some
times!
