I'm using win/9x and when running this SCSI HDDrive, all I can read
is 1.9GB after a long SCSI aha ultra low level format, and then a Win/9x
reformat...."SCSI Mechanic" or Adaptec's partitioners doesn't see anything
more than 1.9GB partition/ttl drive.
I don't see a minimal 8GB, or anything like the minimal win/95 would
allow.....I forced the SE HDD jumper and termed properly on the cable end
since it has no HDD terminate jumper...it's an LVD of course.
This drive has 36.4GB, where did the other 34.5GB go,......... has
anyone ever experienced this 1.9GB max of a larger scsi drive?
All my other scsi drives have no problem being seen or fully 32bit
partition formatted....

What was that good for.

Which obviously has nothing got to do with it.

If shortstroke is not the problem it may be a modulo xxGB BIOS problem.
Oh, and cut the software newsgroups when you reply.
Have you formatted FAT16?

Lot's of interesting GUI scsi utils.....but they are all the same,
when an HP bare-drive in a non HP machine is used!

No FAT32 as is in the windows default recognition, only this time it
seemed to recognize too much and made a weird mbr format........
This is a 10 minute format, it should be drawing a lot of lines, but
des not see them?
