Margiotta" X-Sender: gary@surreal.vrhost.com To: FreeBSD Hardware List Subject: Large IDE Drives Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, Just a quick question... A while back, I remember someone having a problem with a 12 GB Bigfoot IDE drive and FBSD not being able to see it. I am thinking of purchasing 17+ GB drives (20 or 25 GB is a possibility), and was wondering as long as the BIOS on my machine sees it correctly, will FBSD have a problem with it? If you are wondering, I want mass storage, and IDE is much cheaper when you aren't concerned with speed... Thanks in advance! ______________________________________________________________ -Gary Margiotta Voice: (973) 835-7855 TBE Internet Services Fax: (973) 835-4755 http://www.tbe.net E-Mail: gary@tbe.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
