- The PC/AT limitations don't apply to the Amiga; the 0.5gig "barrier"
- isn't a problem. The only hassle with IDE drives is the need to set
- MaxTransfer correctly for many of them, but that isn't much trouble at
- all.

- 2 gig is the largest drive that is supported, however, though AFS (the
- new version not yet released) and some PD solutions exist which will
- allow access to larger drives.
