You might want to look into your fixed drive controller also, as they
usually don't support more than 1024 cylinders either.

I had a IBM 339 AT at one time and ran AWARD 3.02 BIOS (current is ver 3.03)
and it was compatable but not sure whether it supports > 1024 cylinders. Can
get back to you on that...
