- I just bought a new hard drive ( Microscience 1120 120Meg RLL ) Yea I know
- it's old technology but I am waiting to get a 486 notebook and this is
- as much as I can afford. The drive will format to 120Meg ONLY if i can
- format it with more than 1024 sectors.
-
- My question is can I use the supplied SWBIOS.COM program under OS/2 toi
- get the extra space ???? There is also a DMDRVR.BIN file.
-
- Any help is much appreciated I really could use the extra 25 megs I will
- gain.
