There is one potential addtional issue related to UDMA33, and that is
BIOS on these old boards tend to be capped at a maximum HD size of 128G
(or 64G in some older cases). This should be of no consequence to a SCSI
user, but it does prevent some BIOS from posting with a larger drive
attached and designated in the BIOS, and of course when this is the
case, it cannot be booted from. OS/2 will be able to use all of such a
device regardeless of any BIOS settings due to Dani's excellent
DaniS506.ADD driver. The BIOS limitation normally can be circumvented
with a PCI ATA card, but since systems treat these as SCSI devices,
things can get hairy when you're actually using real SCSI.
