All my ADAPTEC cards handle drives over 1 GB with no effort of any kind on my
part, i.e. straight out of the box. Perhaps you should look for the somewhat
obscured BIOS update files on the ADAPTEC web site. I've been planning (though
the road to hell is paved with good intentions) to fix my NETWARE server's PSU,
which will make my local copies of th
but I believe ADAPTEC has it still.

What I want it one of the later 1542 cards that
isn't plug an play, but
will handle drives over 1 gig. Both my 1542s have the earlier bios and
won't go over 1 gig :-(

OK. If you
can get one, the 154xA version is probably as good as any and
performs up to ISA spec's. What's more, its jumpering, though plentiful and
confusing, is well documented.
