TC, Question for you or anyone else who might have the answer. My workhorse word processing computer uses a Tyan Tahoe-II motherboard with a Pentium II 266, a 440FX chipset, and 128megs of ram running on WIN98SE. I have an Adaptec AHA 2940U/2940 UW SCSI pci controller card and am using two SCSI hard drives [old and small... one a 4.2 gig (a Seagate 10000 rpm Cheetah) and the other a 3.1 gig)]. The Cheetah is dying. The motherboard bios is AMI. I want to replace the poor Cheetah with a large 10,000 rpm SCSI drive, but I'm getting different opinions from the techs. One says I can't go over 8 gigs with this chipset and bios and the other says that only pertains to IDE drives and the SCSI card will allow and recognize larger drives... i.e. an 18 gig. I've tried searching TYAN's page and can't find any info other than it will run up to a 12 gig IDE drive. Anyone have any info on this as I have to replace the harddrive fast. Thanks in advance for any input, Marty
