        Im trying to use a 4GB IBM SCSI-Disk on a PC under
        DOS6.22 / WIN 3.11.

        fdisk shows just 1022MByte as total disk space. The
        manual of the controller used says something about
        "extended BIOS translation" to solve the problem.

        Where do I have to look? The Board is a 486VL-Bus type.

        Any comments welcome!
        (It would not be nice for me if my boss would say that
        i ve bought the wrong disk!!)

        tnx
