=20 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm thinking of purchasing an ATA PCI Adapter so that I may access a = large hard disk on a PC with an old BIOS. The BIOS has a limitation of = 2 gigs and I have a 20 gig drive, so the card must have, obviously, on = board BIOS for recognizing large drives. I searched through the release notes on 4_STABLE = (http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/hardware/i386/x27.html#AEN33) = but I'm wondering if there are there any pitfalls to installing one or = using one? Also -- are any of the cards listed in the release notes = inherently "better" then the others? Suggestions for other cards are appreciated.
