Hello!
Recent find was a P166 on a FIC VT-502 motherboard. Came with an IDE 1GB drive, but I wanted to upgrade to something bigger, so I installed a trusty CF-IDE drive with IBM 4GB SD and nothing, no go. Won't recognize the drive . I also tried an 8GB, nothing. I found the manuals at
http://cwcyrix.duckdns.org/ftp-archives/ftp.f … socket7/vt-502/
But no mention of IDE limits. I would seem strange that a P166 would have a 2GB limit no?
Any ideas?
