Thought I'd be smart and install DOS 7.1 to get support for larger partitions, alas, I soon discovered that my Intel socket 7, MMX 200, LT430TX board doesn't support drives over 8GB. So what's the best workaround for this:
- Look for a BIOS hack
- Get a PCI IDE card and use SD to IDE
- Get a PCI SATA card and use a SSD
- Run two 8GB SD cards with 7.1 and give up large support
- Be a heathen and keep running 6.22 and grieve I can't install every PC game there is
The board supports PCI 2.1, so I guess the controller can't be above that. The solution also doesn't need the ability to boot as I'll use an SD/CF solution for a boot drive and the larger for games only, but I'd want at least 64GB for my D: drive.
