I have some larger hard PATA hard drives and that made me wonder if they could be used in retro PCs. I know the bios size limitations of 528MB with 386 and 486 PCs. I also know about size limitations in win98 with newer retro PCs.
If I were to put a 500GB PATA hard drive into a 386 or 486 PC would even EZ-drive be able to do anything with it? Would I even be able to use part of the hard drive in dos with EZ-drive?
Same with win98se, would I be able to use even the first 127GB of the hard drive there or if it would not just work at all?
I know it is wasting lots of space, but I think there are some advantages like the newer hard drive might be bit more reliable and less noisy and I really don't have any other use for them.
