I have been tempted to put a laptop IDE hard drive in my multia...but I was concerned about 2 issues: 1) I remember a while back when there was a limit to the size of a drive a bios could see, and effectively use. Does such a limit exist on the onboard controller, and if so, what is it? 2) What cable/connector would be required to make this work? Thanks in advance, Ted -- gentoo-alpha@gentoo.org mailing list
