But will cpio split the file it is to large to fit on a floppy? What about the files I have on the disc right now. I was using dos formated floppies and then ran tar to do the copy. Is it possible that I can read them using some of the suggested way?
What exact commands did you use to get it onto the floppy?
Unless you compressed the file first, I'd say its unlikely that its all there. SCO tar has no built in compression and you obviously can't fit a 6mb file on a 1.44Mb diskette.
You can try 'tar tvf /dev/floppy' on the Centos box to see what's on the floppy.

The above command won't work because I can't mount the floppy drive. I just get you must specify the filesystem type.
If the file system type is System V I should be able to compile that into centos right?
I will try all the other ideas that you all have given me tomorrow but I don't mind spending some time tonight compiling for the old file system.
I have run make menuconfig and then navigated to sysv file system and placed an * on it then saved the ran make but it gave me a error and never finished the make.
