[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Help with >1024 cylinders

kslee@athena.mit.edu (Kenneth S. Lee) (02/20/91)

I have Rodime RO5090 MFM drive which have 1224 cylinders.  In order to get the full 75 MB as specified, I must use the driver supplied with the disk drive since DOS does not support >1024 cylinders.  If I use the driver, I cannot have a partician >32 megabytes.  I want to know if there is a way to get around this problem and have 1 big partician (using DOS 4.01).  Thanks for any response.
