Interesting but mostly useless for my effort. No data on LBA support
only suggested
configs (CHS) and Largely FM/EDSI/SCSI. If I needed to know what drive
I have could
be used in XT class or AT class with WD100x interface it would be very
useful.
The info needed was specific, what IDE/ATA drives under 1gb preferably
512mb support LBA?
I ended up testing about 20 drives and all under 420mb tested did not
support LBA.
In the end I selected Toshiba/IBM 2.5" 1gb as I have a few and they did
test as valid for LBA.
Now I can actually start the real task.
