Hi Guys,
I have a P90 running W95 which I use solely for keeping data which I write to CDs. The CDs are rewriteable so as the data changes I can update the CDs. The data consists of all the files I need to configure all my computers, such as copies of driver floppies, notes, DOS batch files, software and (downloaded) drivers and manuals.
I do not want to move to a newer machine. I have this machine running without problems using an old Acer 2x writer and the Adaptec Easy CD Creator software. It is the machine's sole purpose in existing and the only software installed on it.
Since this is an older machine, the size of the hard drive is limited to (my best guess based on testing) the 33gb limit even when using EZ-BIOS. I currently have a 10gb drive installed and I am running out of room. Especially now as I download the drivers/software for more current machines since they can sometimes run over 1gb each.
So here's my question. Is there a way for me to increase the amount of hard drive storage accessible to a stand-alone computer such as this? Since it is W95, USB is out. And I do not have it hooked into a network as that would defeat the purpose of having the data stored on the local machine.
Thanks...JOe
