Unfortunately, the BIOS is limited to 32GB and I want to put an 80GB drive in. The drive (Seagate Barracuda) includes a jumper that makes the drive report a capacity of 32GB until it is reset using a "set features/report full capacity available" command. Would you be interested in adding support for this feature? -- Peter Jeremy
