With DOS, cylinders are limited to 1024, no matter what the heads and
sectors per track are. So with heads=16, sectors=63, and cylinders=1022,
your maximum DOS partition is about 500 MB. My problem is, I have a DOS
partition of 2GB, the maximum size with heads=255.
If you don't need a huge DOS partition like mine, the card works.
But only up to some disk size limit, unknown to me.
I'm not trying to recommend this card for new builds. I just wanted to
know if it works on older PCI bus computers that don't have any SATA. It
works on one of mine. YMMV.
