I think that Western digital bundles software with their hard drives that
lets older pc's see large hard drives. I used to have it when i had an old
486 box myself. I can't remember what its called, but you may have some
luck looking on their website.

Subject: ISA SCSI for Old 486?
>Hi all,
>
>I have an old Digital 486DX33 low profile box that I'd like to use Linux
>with... the problem is it has a standard IDE disk controler on-board.
>It can't see all of a larger EIDE disk, and I need at least 2GB to use.
>I assume the 500MB limitation is in the old IDE controler and adding a
>SCSI card would cure that problem. Anyone know of a good ISA SCSI card
>that works well with Linux, or, better, where I could get one? Haven't

>Any ideas on how to get the old box to see all 2GB of an EIDE disk I
>have would also do the trick.

>Thanks for any info.
