    I've got a bunch of old P2 class HP's that I'm recycling for various
    projects at work.

    I'm now looking at an application that would require a large amnount of
    hard disk storage. I was thinking thta I could put 4 120G drives in these
    machines, but a friend of mine reminded me that they might be to old to
    support these.

    This leads to a couple of questiosn.

    1. What are the various size limits for IDE33/66/100 & 133 ?
    2. How can I determine what generation of IDE controler a given machine
    has?

    Thanks for any info or pointers to docs.
