Can I get an AT w/SCO XENIX to read Altos 586 floppies?

If the disk is a 96tpi format with 9 sectors/tk or 15/sectors/tk you
should be able to just read it with the proper device. As far as I can
tell you could also read 8 sectors/tk, but I hope nobody uses it. I
have had best luck with cpio disks, using "oBc" options to create and
"iBcdml" to read (yes I know "l" isn't supposed to work with"i", but it
seems to).
