You can order a 'flash' upgrade for your bios that will support LBA from
the Phoenix Bios website.  I upgraded mine and it has worked great ever
since and I'm now running a Western Digital 5.1 gig hard drive under Win
95.  If you would like the URL for the Phoenix site, email me privately
and I'll get it to you.  Cost was $79 and well worth it.
