Poor old Keef, STILL hasnt noticed that there are drives out there
that manage >528MB without the use of LBA or a driver. Poor old Keef.
Try having a look at some of the modern motherboards which have a
LARGE option as well as an LBA option Keef. You also see it called ECHS.

They do that by translating the 1024 cylinders in
commands over the cable into 16 heads as far as DOS is
concerned, WITHOUT using LBA that poor old Keef proclaimed was the
only way coz thats all he could work out from ATA-2. Pathetic really.

Nope, not for ME Keef, because MY netmail is mapped Keef.
I was basically suggesting that the points on Pauls system
which ARENT mapped might get bitten by that.

You really are fucking thick arent you Keef ?  Presumably that explains
why you manage to still get lumbered with shift work after all this time.
