Kernel Recovery mostly got it right...

I had a case where a Compaq NeoServer 150 running SCO OpenServer 5 had crashed. Oddly, when I tried to use another boot server running OpenServer 6, it knew what the drives were, but couldn't mount it. I purchased Kernel Recovery and allowed it to do a sector scan. Pretty good results, probably got 90% or more of the data back. Better than none!!

I suspect the missing 10% isn't a problem with Kernel but something that SCO and Compaq cooked up to make HTFS that little more different.
