Hello,

>when it discovered a 40Gb disk attached to it!  So one-nil to the Q40.  

Older AWARD Bioses are known not to even recognice hard disks
with a size greater as 32 GB.  That's why they (at least the IBM
ones) have a jumper setting "32 GB clip".  So you can use the
disk in those PC's, albeit its size is reduced to 32 GB (I think
you can remediate this by using some OnTrack software,
downloadable at IBMs storage site (onyl for IBM's?).

(I faced the same problem after I bought a 40G for the old PC. I
didn't want to use OnTrack, so I put the 40 into the new PC ant
the new PC's 30 into the old one ;-)
