I need to build up a tiny cheap box with the largest IDE drive or drives that I can find (unless I can find a SCSI controller that is dirt cheap). The idea here is that this box doesn't need to be fast in the slightest, but I want as much disk capacity as I can throw on it. Unfortunately, I'm a wd moron, since I hate non-SCSI equipment. I know we don't support the enhanced functionality modes in EIDE, but I'm completely obtuse about the differences between IDE and EIDE. Does this mean that we do/do not support drives that have more than 1023 cylinders? If someone has a quick answer, I'd like to here from you, as I've got two days to get this damn thing built so we can install it in the remote location. Paul
