Hi, well, if your BIOS only has LBA28, it will tell you that the disk would be at most 128 GB big. If it has LBA48, it will reach more, but FreeDOS would be limited to 2 TB (2^32 sectors). An idea would be to make the UDMA driver fully independent from BIOS limits: Then after booting from the firs

Hi Arkady, I think Symbios SCSI BIOS needs special detection because of some bug. Or maybe your BIOS has builtin Symbios SCSI support. In either case, if you do not have that SCSI hardware, you better turn off the option to avoid unnecessary features. FreeDOS and "WinDOwS" both use the BIOS for s
