An interesting solution (it has a free ISA slot), and one we'll probably look at if we have further problems. We found some refurbs <4 GB on Amazon for $30, so I think we're going that route. We put in a 40 GB Seagate, and the BIOS didn't see it at all. We jumpered it to <40 GB operation and the BIOS auto-detect could see a 32 GB drive, but after POST couldn't boot anything on it (even though it was partitioned as a 2 GB partition). A BIOS update may be available, but if we nuke that motherboard, we're looking at scavenging eBay for a replacement or a REALLY expensive hardware/software upgrade to bring it into this decade.
