hi all,

i have a spare 250Gb IDE disk that i want to install in my aplha DS10L.
i looked in the mailing list archives and found a thread (from 2003)
mentioning that the os will only see 130Gb from a similarly sized drive.

is there any chance that the drive will work with the machine updated to
the newest firmware available or there is a limitation because of the
older IDE interface used ?

currently i am running firmware version 7.2-1 but i could easily upgrade
to 7.3 if this will help. the os is 5.1B with PK6.


greetings,

Stoyan Angelov
