Hey Steven,
I think you're correct that if I was booting the drive, I would have to get
the BIOS to recognize it. And as far as I can tell, by BIOS is limited to
8.4 GB. So I would have to upgrade.
Luckily, I'm not booting it and Linux has no such limitations. It works
great, all 13.6 GB, as non-bootable hdc. (Although cfdisk sure did want me
to set a bot flag on one of the partitions).
