when I originally setup this drive on an old pentium,
which couldn't support it's capacity w/o an overlay
either, it formatted it to the capacity it was able.
Shouldn't dos on the 486 do the same? I'm now
realizing it won't even see the partition I did create
though (~8 gigs) presumably.

Got this barebones 486 mobo. I'm trying to setup a
20
gig Fujitsu MPG3204AH drive. Types 1-46...then
there's
47. I'm looking for the parameters as I type
this.
Has
Old 486 can only support 540MB HD. Newer might
support bigger. But surely
not 20G! Find an old HD and you are OK.
anyone accomplished this? What about a newer
cd-rom
drive? I don't have any 3.5" drives at
my
location,
but I know that somewhere I have a Win98SE boot
cd
(I
made it). Don't think I have any 5.25"
boot
floppies
either. I'm a mess! Trying to get some images
burned
onto floppies, so I can play :). I doubt I can
get
this working today. I did make that hard drive
bootable some time ago, but the P166MMX unit
wouldn't
boot from it. I don't have a clue.
If anyone can call me, that would be great LOL!
8016260<area code 732>. I can't get my dialup
stuph
working, and I had to drive to a nearby hotspot
w/my
laptop just to do this! Man am I a mess.
Can't find a 3.5 anywhere in my stash. That would
make everything work. O man.
