If his BIOS sees that the disk is larger than 540 mb, it supports packet mode. Anything that supports 'LBA' mode supports packet mode (that's what it is).

I think a PPro 200 is probably 1995 or later. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orghelp
