Special Considerations

 

Hard drives greater than 2.1GB may need to be divided into multiple partitions / logical drives. MS-DOS versions 
4.0 through 6.22 allow a maximum primary partition / logical drive size of 2.1GB and are limited to 8.4GB in 
physical drive capacity. The file systems supported by Windows-95, Windows-98 and Windows NT are not restricted 
to the 8.4GB physical drive limit, but special BIOS support is required.

the Fireball SE is found on the disk drive printed circuit board. Using these jumper pins you can establish the
