Need your advice on "DTC EIDE BIOS CARD - Allows older PC's to use large
drives!"
Got some e-mail from the "Closeout Specials from Dalco" e-mail list I am on.
The item below interests me. Do you know anything about it? In particular,
is DTC a brand or a type? Any idea what the max. limit hard drive it would
support? I'm figuring this card would max out at 8GB, which is more than
plenty for me. I've got 4 486/486dx AMI BIOS 1991/1992 motherboards with
all ISA slots I want the card to go in. How does it work? Does it disable
the existing BIOS? Is the card OS independent? In particular, will it
work fine with RedHat/OpenLinux/Slackware Linux and Net/Free/Open BSD? I
guess all these questions I can ask the sales people.
The biggest question is if that is a good price? I'm gonna assume it is a
good price. I wonder if this card has adventages over replacing the BIOS
chip on the motherboard. Does this card have any other features, like hard
drive controller, or do I have to continue using my existing hard drive
controller card? Does it provide PnP support like an outright BIOS upgrade
would?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
