Is that true? Any work around? Untrue. I've been using Windows 3.0 and MSDOS 4.1 (not 4.0) on 200meg partitions with no problems relating to the HD. It is possible that this rumor started with the Disk Manager/ > 1024 cyl/Smartdrive problem. -- ******************************************************************************** Disclaimer: My company knows not what I say (or do).
