Re: TUSL2-C AGP acceptance and Harddisk max-size

Hi Egil

What about UDMA/100 or UDMA/133. Do I have to considder the UDMA-issue
specified for harddisk? Or is it just anyting goes!?
And what about 40 or 80 pin cables? Some disk are 40 and other are 80 pins.
The IDE-connector on the motherboard have 40 (39) connecting pins. The
TUSL2-C manual says "UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80 conductor
IDE cable for 100MBytes/sec transfer rates". I'm a bit confused here...

Hi Eigil

Thanks for the answers

Regarding question about disk size - as you say that the TUSL2-C mobo
can recognize disks larger than 128GB - then how much larger than
128GB? - say 250 or even 400GB? . Did you pr chance come across some
documentation. And isn't it correct that bigger disks needs more
adressing hence "eat" more memory.


48bit LBA adressing leaves enough headroom for bigger disks than exists
today. No documentation other than "bios history" at Asus stating 48bit
support from bios 1012.

There will not be any memory issue considering big disks.
