- I tried to use the Adaptec BBS and couldn't get through, so maybe the
- net can help....
-
- I got an Adaptec AHA-1542B controller and want to use it with OS/2 2.0
- and a large SCSI disk.
-
- My question is this: I have heard that SCSI disks larger than 1 Gb may
- not work properly without BIOS upgrades or special drivers. Is this true for
- OS/2?
-
- If necessary I can use an MFM drive and controller to boot, and use the
- large SCSI only for storage.
-
- Are there any other considerations that I need to keep in mind or any
- tricks/gotchas?
-
- Thanks (especially for quick replies -- my MFM drives are full!)
