Yes the limit is 137 GB and I said that and it's tested as well. I
posted that long ago, but again I guess two or three weeks ago on a
bridge question. No there isn't.

Don't even try it, or your box WILL not boot.

Well, not sure about that. Why you say it would do the trick? Unless
that PCI have it's own logic and all, witch I would not think it would
anyway. That box only support IDE, so you have no choice here.
But even a nice new IDE works very well there.
I used: ST3160815A from Seagate, a very nice drive, pretty darn fast and
nice cache as well on the drive. Or an 80GB ST380215A.
It does give a second life to these boxes.
> However could not find any information if I could boot from discs connected
Yes you can, but obviously use an external one. Pretty easy to do, then
you removed it after that.
> Any hints?
If you have any issue, I would be more then happy to help you get it
going, but do your homework firs,t it couldn't be simpler to do really.
