[comp.os.msdos.apps] MSDOS 5.0 & HDD with 1224 Cyl.

kai@kaiki.toppoint.de (Kai Voelcker) (06/19/91)

Hello,
I am thinking of buying MSDOS 5.0.  One question: 
Does 5.0 provide something useful to manage a HDD with 1224 cyl. that I can get
rid of add. drivers like sstor, or is the limit set to 1024 cyl. as before ?

Same as before... The good news is that the updated SpeedStor and Disk
Manager device drivers (not partitioning software, etc..) comes with
the MSDOS 5.0 upgrade (not PCDOS 5.0).
