Looking to put a beefier hard drive in an old system so I can test some stuff on it, but like really old systems (slot 1), there appears to be an 8gb limit.
I currently have a 7gb drive in an IBM Aptiva 2140-L5H.
I scrounged around and found a better cpu and more ram, it runs xp pretty well for how shitty it is (no achp or whatever mode, also because bios update).
I had a compaq deskpro EN500 that did this, it needed a bios update which i never got to.
for those interested:
Pentium II 333mhz (came with 233 pos)
Intel 440LX
256mb PC 100 (came with none)
7gb Fjuitsu HDD (came with none)
modified IDE cables, work great (came with none, just drill a hole where the 40th pin should be on 39 pin cables, it does nothing as far as i can tell)
ATI Mach64(in bios) Rage Pro AGP2x(on chip)
16x DVD-RW (came with none)
Windows XP SP3 (no ahcp or whatever)
This case is huge, ima do some epic mods on it.
back to the topic: IBM website got shut down when Lenovo bought them, so where do I find my bios and drivers?
