Subject: Re: [LIB] BIOS 8GB Limit - Fix?

Looks like a DOS program (from the description) that calculates the correct
BIOS  values for the HD and stores them in memory (not permenantly of course;
at least from the fast skimming of the text).  

Sufficient information for someone with a knowhow of BIOS disassembly and BIOS
programming to fix the problem, and anyone with sufficient computer programming
skills and hardware know-how (even me) could sit down with this and figure
everything out in a few weeks/months to do this.  (Of course, someone who knows
everything could reprogram the BIOS faster...)

Of course, the only tricky part is no matter how careful you are, if you don't
have the actual specs on what every byte of the BIOS layout is supposed to do
or why it is there, you could wind up with a dead Libretto....
