What type of controller 
card (brand/model)?  Does 
the card's low-level 
formatter/verifier "see" 
all 4 GB?  It could be 
that your on-card BIOS 
needs to be bypassed by a 
device driver in order to 
implement "extended BIOS 
translation," have you 
tried booting from a DOS 
floppy with a "RAM BIOS" 
and/or "ASPI" device 
driver loaded via 
CONFIG.SYS?  There also 
may be a hardware jumper, 
DIPswitch, or controller 
card CMOS setting that 
enables this feature, e.g. 
BusLogic cards' "AutoSCSI" 
menu system has an item 
called "DOS Space > 1GB."

Understood, a very
