Does the Promise Fasttrak 100 TX4 card support 48-bit LBA disk
addressing (ie, discs > 137GB)?
I emailed Promise tech support this question, and while waiting for a
reply found a link to:
http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=15&category=All&os=100
....which sure sounds like they have a BIOS upgrade for the FT 100 that
supports 48-bit.
HOWEVER, I then got a reply from Promise tech support saying they
DON'T support 48-bit: "Hi Sorry but we do not have 48 Bit LBA bios
support for the FT100
TX4."
So now I'm really confused!
I wonder if the link I found is ONLY for the Fasttrak 100 (and not for
the FT 100 TX4), or is Promise tech support just full of it?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
DT
