      IDE Hints
      • FAT disk format cannot support partitions larger than 2 GB. This limitation results from the maximum allocation unit of 32KB, and the maximum file allocation table size.
      • A boot partition cannot be larger than 2 GB.
      • PS/2 Models 90 and 95 read part of their system IML code from the system partition of the boot drive. The SCSI controller shipped with these systems is specially designed to be available during system power-up so that the IML code can be read from disk when is it needed. Other controllers, including FutureDomain and Adaptec, do not complete the controller Power On Self Test in time to be ready to get the IML code when the system requires it. These adapters will not function as boot drive controllers, but will work fine as non-boot drive controllers.
