Large disk support == LBA translation (i.e., single hard disk partitions
over 524mb in size).

large disk support?? dos has supported partitions over 32meg since at least
3.3 hasnt it? I think version 6 had Antivirus support and dos 5 was the last
version you could install on a set of floppies (or at least the setup
program
would let you)

<< DOS5 == DOS6 differences:
SmartDrive disk cache
Boot menus
"Large disk" support in FDISK
Drive compression
That's what I can come up with without looking. How far off am I? >>

Thank you
The phrase "large disk support" will always carry some confusion due to
it's RELATIVE nature. 32M, ~500M, 8G, ... What is the current limit?

In Microsoft products? Who cares :-) I like my SGI XFS filesystems with
a 1TB filesystem limits. Future releases of it are supposed to support
18,000,000 TB filesystem sizes.
I've never seen a UNIX filesytem more wonderfully scaleable and fast as
XFS, but it's not 10 years old yet.

New subject: IBM RS6000 7013 parts needed
Hi! I just got a big ol' RS6000 59h powerserver. It is the deskside
chassis (7013 series), and I am in dire need of a couple of parts:
a) The front and back skins (I have the full chassis, except that it is
missing the back/front covers....)
b) The key assembly, with key. Since I don't have the key and I need it so
I can get into service mode. Of course I could just short the cables
comming out of the key... but that would not be very aesthetic!!! :)
So if anyone has one of these beasts around, please let me know. I don't
need anything that is specific to the 59h model, since the guts of the
computer are in OK condition. But if you have a 520 on up I would be
interested in those parts (maybe some extra stuff like CD/ROM, tape
drive).
If anyone wants I can trade them for some DEC 3000 alpha AXP parts (I have
some 300lx and some 600 models)
cheers.

It might very well be. Those POWER-based microchannel machines have been
around for a while.
Peace... Sridhar
