In preparation for the Turtle Beach AudioTron that will be my Christmas present (sits with the audio stuff, hooks to the home network, finds all the audio files on any computers on the network and allows you to select and play them through your home audio system), I would like to take one of my old computers sitting in the garage (486's/maybe a Pentium), throw the largest hard drive I can afford in it, and hang it on the network as a file server, mainly for ripping my CD collection to it.
My question is, with an older CPU/Bios running Windows 98 SE, how large of a hard drive can I expect to use as a single physical drive/single partition?? I will like to install at least a 60 gig. Also, since the AudioTron only runs at 10 mbps on the network, should I worry about CPU or drive speed? I would think that a 5400 rpm drive on a standard IDE bus (not Ultra) should not be a problem..... ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
