Newer revisions no longer have that problem. Not much point in selling the 200+GB drives that are becoming common if ATA didn't support them. (Of course that applies to your motherboard... The Archos may very well still have that limitation...) -- Mike Payson | DawgDayz Dog Walking & Pet Sitting (206) 280-7295 | www.dawgdayz.com | mpayson_at_dawgdayz.comReceived on 2002-12-31 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
