My P-133 Aptiva came with a 1.5 GB drive. It's more than enough to hold everything I need, but it sounds like a swarm of bees - a bad bearing, I guess. What I'd like to do is replace it with a newer, quieter drive, which would make the excess space even more obscene. I know that motherboards of the time (this machine is from '96) had pretty strict limits on drive sizes that they would recognize, but I seem to recall there being ways around this such as a software-based BIOS. Can anyone offer any suggestions in this regard?
P.S. Thanks again for the help with DOS networking. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any drivers for my NIC; I ended up just RAR-ing stuff over multiple floppies (good compression, that RAR!).
