Re: For sale: Fairlight Series III MFX2 RACKMOUNT!

2005-04-19 by paradyse_james

As os9/mdrdos doesn' t recognize more than 4gb hard disk, I would like 
 to know how you succeed to get 9gb ?
I' ve two 9gb hard disk in my MFX2 but they are limited to 4gb. 
Further my turbo scsi card and my cmi41 come from a MFX3, so I' ve 
more than the lastest specs a normal MFX2 should have ... I also have 
installed the 11.39+ software ( more open to new scsi devices ) but no 
luck :°(
