Subject: Big (> 137GB) Drive Support
Hello, 

                Does anyone know the status of the support for the new
                big (greater than 137GB) IDE drives that are starting
                to appear?  I would imagine there are prerequisites
                such as a fairly new mobo, BIOS updates, etc.


                Do most of these drives (e.g. Western-Digital, Maxtor)
                include a controller card in their "boxed retail"
                versions (or do they rely on the mobo IDE controller)?


                Reply to list ... TIA.


                Fritz
