I don't know what that limit is but it is somewhere in the range of 10-20 Mb. Venix 2.0 will recognize a maximum of 32 Mb. In order to get more hd space you have to add another drive. I tried partitioning a drive on a Rainbow to two logical drives and venix overwrote the partitioning. I don't know how to partition a large drive so venix will see it as multiple drives. Someone mentioned once that he modified the venix kernal but 2 years later when I obtained a copy of venix and sent him a message, he had forgotten what he did. Chaim R.
