HD Sizes...MoBo limits?

[kurt at verruckt.org]

I have an AMD K6 file server that has an 80gb, and a 160gb drive. Both are
hooked up on the pci controller card that came with my 160gb drive. Had no
problems at all with any of the hardware. The motherboards are some old
socket 7 Asus boards that I got from another lug member.
