Does current udma controller's support drives with capacities more than 8.4 gig???

[plucky duck]

Hhmm...never thought of that before.
My friend was askin me the other day.
I've only got a 6.4 gigger.

DO you know if current udma ide hard drive controller's support drives bigger than 8.4 gig?

Or would we need to buy a new controller?

Also, anybody got that new PROMISE Ultra-66 hard drive controller?

Any physical speed differences running it with a udma-66 drive?

Does the card and (which) udma-66 hard drives run well with overclocked systems?
I.e. - 124mhz and 133mhz fsb.

I run a 10.1G on my BH6 and my buddy runs a 17G Maxtor on his. Mine is all one fat32 volume, UDMA works fine.

I have NT 4.0 SP5. I was using the piixide.sys busmaster driver that came with my BX6v2 motherboard. Since I had a 6.4GB drive, there was no problem with the 8.4GB limit. I bought another drive this past weekend (20.4GB) and it could only see the first 8.4GB. After a while of tinkering around, I finally realized it was the piixide driver. I went back to MS's atapi.sys and it worked fine. However, Winbench 99 showed only 5 MB/sec throughput (beginning and ending - how odd). I found a registry entry to enable UDMA in NT, and reran Winbench 99. Disk throughput is now 15.5 MB/sec beginning and 14.5 MB/sec ending. Much better!
