SCO -> DU -> SCO

I will need to transfer some files from an SCO (x86) machine to our
ALPHA DU
machine. Unfortunatly, there is no link ability between the two & they
have
different format tapes (8mm vs 4mm), So I'm left to floppies.

What is the best way to export binary files to floopies on the SCO to be
read into the DEC machine. From what I read 'dd' can not span floppies.

What is the easiest way to accomplish this (They may be 1-3mb files
compressed).
I don't believe the SCO machine has DOS, (I considered MTOOLS then use
PKZIP
with DOS to span diskettes).

Thanx

I don't know what version of SCO unix they have (I think 2.2? if that
sounds right).
