In Australia, one of the leading PC magazine, PC User, comparing Win95, 
WinNT and OS/2 Warp in the Operation System Section of the Vol 9 Number 
1 January 1997 issue, says:

"Both OS/2 and NT directly support RAID (redundant array of inexpensive 
drives) for reliable sky's-the-limit storage, while Windows 95 doesn't.  
On the other hand, OS/2 Warp needs help to handle IDE disks larger than 
512kb."

That is ridiculous, 512kb is smaller than space available on the floppy 
disk.  I think he is talking about the 512MB BIOS limitation.  Could 
someone knowledgable write to the editor on "pcuser@apc.com.au" and 
explain to the author what 512MB limit is.
