What a pile. This thing seems to have some special *boot* code on it to scramble BIOS' brain. >1600 cylinders. Some looney software to write the boot-block, partition it (oh, you want 2 partitions, okay here's 2 400MB partitions!). Has anybody ever made one of these goofy things work with FreeBSD, or should I just give it a fling? Thought it might be interesting to play with. I decided to give it a try, since the el-sleezo (dirt-cheep) PC sellers are pushing these hard. If it won't work, I can easily get my money back. The reason I took it was to see what kind of trouble they generate. It will only be a matter of time before these things are romping the planet and causing trouble.
