Yeah but it looks like such drivers don't exist. Also it seems that things are running in PIO mode only with the drivers I do have since it really runs the P3 1GHz into the ground when using the drive.

Apparently also Dell don't support drives on the Serverworks IDE channels - only tape drives and CDROMs . They want SCSI only.

So I'm going to get a Promise ATA card which apparently has NT4 drivers and apparently supports LBA48

But your RioCar/Empeg (with Hijack) will access the full capacity just fine.

Of course thanks to you. And it's quite a simple change as I understand it from reading the ATA specs. Aaah the wonders of open source...
