Question Promise Ultra66


What's the biggest hard drive size Linux can handle when using a Promise Ultra66 card? I went to Promise's site but I couldn't find the answer for Windows, let alone Linux.

I had an hpt343 card, one of the crappiest ATA66 cards ever and I got it to recognize both an 80 and 60 Gig drive over 2 different channels. I doubt the card would have an upper limit as most of them built to get around BIOS drive size limitations. Offhand what's its exact chipset, the command:

/sbin/lspci

will tell you best.

Cheers,

Finegan
