There's more to it than just BIOS drive types. There are literally dozens of limits to disk drive size in the land of the pee sea and messy DOS. Read and weep: http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/hard_drives/hard_drive_size_barriers.htm But regardless of cause, yah, it's a fair bet some part of the old system doesn't like some aspect of the new one. I have an ancient 180 MB (yes, megabyte) IDE disk drive I keep around solely for testing in this sort of situation. > This handy serial terminal program called Realterm (a sourceforge project) > is indicating UART framing errors all across the board.

Time to buy a new voice mail unit. I've got an old Norstar MICS I'm looking to sell, if you like. Includes NAM VMU. The hardware will do up to 96 extensions and 20 lines "as is". Just add phones. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
