That's good news. I feared it was 65.

I could not remember whether it was 65 GB or 137 GB, either, so I
resorted to doing a Google search. I found some old archived posts from
this newsgroup, back when this was actually a current topic, lol.

Thanks, I must hone up my News-Googling skills. I believe the 503+ only
went to 65G (with je4333) but that's out of date info as well.

I have a 120G Seagate running in a 503+ (with JE4333) right now. Works
fine.
[As a side note, I actually got a 160G drive running in it at one point,
but the BIOS didn't recognize it properly. It declared it to be a 137G
drive, but the Linux OS queried the drive directly and properly declared
it to be 160G. Unfortunately, it was *very* slow, possibly because of
the BIOS conflict.] >> Stay informed about: PA-2013 ... biggest HD? |

There should be no BIOS or hardware limitations between 40GB and the
28-bit IDE/ATA limitation (~137GB), excepting some idiosyncratic
incompatibility between a particular HDD make/model/firmware and the
BIOS (which is what JE4333 addressed with Quantum drives). >> Stay informed about: PA-2013 ... biggest HD? |

There were actually a fair amount of Award BIOSes that had a limitation
of 65 GB (actually 65535 MB) because of a divide overflow error in the
BIOS code.
