Oh so you assume it's a limitation of the Novell IDE driver? It definitely seems like an OS detection/limitation issue just did a test with vmware it's the same max size is 131069.3 MB :X FUUUU Novell is a maze, it's not that clearcut regardless that this is the 4.11 intranetware, intranetware …

Thanks, indeed enabling the dma for the CF adapter did help. I don't care about the speed but if your system freezes randomly for 2-3 seconds after using that box for a couple of hours you want to throw it out from the 10th floor or smash it with a sledgehammer. https://i.ibb.co/V2Drt41/dma.jpg …

I strongly advise against using anything newer than a 6800 in win98. Even the 6800 has issues - especially if it's one of the late 512MB DDR2 models. 7xxx drivers are buggy and cause lots of compatibility and performance issues in win98, not to mention BSODs and other weird happenings. OK, and …

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough this topic is for pure MSDOS 6.22 only. I just mentioned that in Win98 everything works fine. For Msdos it doesn't make any difference if you have 512mb ram or 4gb ram, no difference at all.
