     AFAIK the FAT32 system that win98 uses supports drives up to the
terra-byte range, don't remember how much exactly, probably 4 terra-bytes
(since 2^32 is 4.29 billion) but I could be wrong. There have been numerous
bios and controller compatibilities that have created "Hard Drive size
barriers" but I've never heard of one at 32GB. TTYL
