Now you are getting back to even more fogged memory. :-) I dimly remember a time when drives were larger than the BIOS could recognize and the drivers needed to map them for BIOS to handle. Have not used a machine with that old a BIOS for some time though.
The fogged memory issue. 8" floppies, punched cards, punched tape, Star Trek on a tty terminal. Google is becoming part of my memory. :) One nice thing about getting older is that some of those stupid things I did as a kid are not so bad anymore, at least until I see them in my kids. :)
