 ET> Hello Rodrigo,

Hello Eddy

 ET> If I Remember Correctly

3la are bad, very bad................

 ET> I've a textfile with such abbreviations, I will email it to you.
 ET> rcb@netdata.com.br is your email address?

Yeah, among others...(!)
 
 ET> That looks OK to me.

For me, too.
 
 ET> General rule: the older the mainboard BIOS, the less new devices like
 ET> big IDE harddisks can be used.

But 1997 is old?! What mainboard then? PIII-450 capable? (i want it! 8)

 ET> The mainboard BIOS is only used to start loading OS/2, until the OS/2
 ET> drivers take over. So OS/2 bootpartitions need to be within the first
 ET> 1024 cylinders of the harddisk.

AFAIK, within 1024 cylinders is not needed why ibm1s506 is updated.

 ET> DOS relies on the mainboard BIOS.

DOS isnt a operating system, its a loader. Enough said.... =)
