Pls.excuse me if I'm intruding,I have a question,it may be a little off-topic,but since I read the 2 lines above I have no peace finding out this : - What relation is between the microprocessor,the number of bits of the computer (or microprocessors) highways and the maximum disk size that the microprocessor can access ( see ) ? - I'm asking this because I read somewhere that a certain micro.,not remember now what it was,could not access ( see ) more than 4GB. - So I suppouse that I can't access with a 286 ,say a 10GB disk. - Happily,I own a Intel-Pentium-133MHz.Would he "see" a 10GB disk if I'll buy one ? please enlight me. miky@pcnet.pcnet.ro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
