Is this ASUS motherboard capable of using more than 137G EIDE HD? The only numbers I can find are:
AS99127F
ASUSTEK 1998
112G1AA210510602
WINBOND '98
ASUS has not answered my email. I would like to add a 500G EIDE to my 30G HD, but I do not want to buy it if all I can use is 137G. I know I can buy a new PCI CARD, but I am not certain how to install it. Thank you.

All Enhanced BIOS’s support drives that are
greater than 528 MB. Enhanced BIOS’s can
optionally support the following:
· PIO Mode 3 or greater
· DMA Mode 1 or greater
Your BIOS is 2001, the date of the article is 1995, things have probably moved on from there
However I'm not going to put my head on the block here and say yay or nay - my feeling is nay.
