j,
Thanks. And what I thought. I was about to get out my retired Promise
Ultra133-tx2, but I ran into a glitch about driver version vs. the "fresh,
new" bios on the card. Another project....another floppy...... LOL!
As soon as I finish the takedown, I'll offer the pieces to a good
home........ :)
Thanks,
Duncan

Philosophy aside, you can sometimes get a PCI MB to boot from a UltraATA

options and chipset driver and OS compatibility can be a problem.
Like someone said, if you stay under 120G, you might not trip any
limitations.
(Even the OSs will have HD size limitations...)
Mixing new with old can get messy fast...
