I've understood that Beige has only a 33MHZ IDE bus ...Installing a new hard drive controler card should, best case, double my IDE throughput with anything greater than an ATA 66 card but I would also like to enable Huge drive support (>137BG) and wouldn't that that would require ATA 133 card for at least $75.00 plus shipping? >> Actually the beiges onboard IDE is 16MB/s. So an ATA/66 card would quadruple your throughput. Anyway, someone here has mentioned it, but there is a specification of these cards which says whether or not large drives are supported. Some ATA/66 cards do support large drives. I think Sonnets do, but am not positive. Chris p -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
