There used to be a very active BIOS modding community hacking BIOS files to fix the various drive size limits. https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-4.html I just checked to see if the Wimsbios site is still around. It is. The old modded BIOS files might still be downloadable there.

LinuxCNC on a machine with 512 Kb memory, and it was VERY sluggish to start any programs, like an editor. 40 MB disk??? Yeesh, where would you ever find one? Is that MFM? Even 40Gb is really old stuff. I am running Windows 95 on a vintage 2000 pick and place machine, the BIOS would not recognize disks above 32 GB, but I found a PATA drive with the "clip" feature that makes the drive report a size of 32 Gb (even though the drive has a total capacity 80 Gb). _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
