- I've problems to install a bigger HD than 40MB on my T2000SX because the
- BIOS supports only two HD-Types (20MB and 40MB).
- I would like to install a CONNER CP2844 (~80MB) and to edit the BIOS-EPROM.
- Is there anyone who can tell me how I can change the BIOS values?
-
- According to the tech manual, the t2000sx supports 20, 40, and 60 mb
- hard drives. I exchanged mail with someone a few months back who had
- tried pretty hard to update the tables to use an 80 meg drive, with no
- luck.
-
- The t2000sx is a weak enough machine by today's standards that going nuts
- trying to put in a huge drive is probably not worth it.
