I was mainly wondering if an ISA card exists that has
a ATA100 or 133 interface. Not that it matters that
much, any drive of that type is going to be at least
40 gigs I would imagine. I just can't erase some of
these drives I have laying aroung (probably
approaching 1 terabyte worth), but I'm truly wondering
whether the Western Digital overlay software would
work on a 486 (386? 286?). Ah well. Maybe I'll have
the time to explore it next Thanksgiving!
