    I want/, nay, need to put a 20-40 gig drive in an old machine (a P200 on Chaintech 5VGM M201) to use as an mp3 server.

    On the back of my 2 maxtor drives there is a cyclinder limiter jumper.
    Does this work?
    Does it affect the data on the drive?

    It should work fine, probably won't affect data but I'm not sure about that..

    right so :)

    I'll give it a shot, only have a few games and Win98 on it.

    If it works I can use the box as a temporary proxy and fileserver (Mp3/divx) for the wan.

    afaik it's a restriction on the physical addressing of the drive.it's there for backward compatibility. it WILL effect your hard drive space(if i remember correctly)
    good luck with it.
