Subject: ##-- Will bios support new 3 1/2 ? --##

Hi guys! I've been reading countless articles about people buying new high
density drives and trying to install them, only to discover that their bios
is outdated and does not support these new drives. Since, I too am considering
purchasing a HD - Drive, I would like to know ahead of time, if my bios can
support such a drive. Does anybody know how to find out whether a bios will/
will not support these drives? I have a 1986 Award bioson an XT, I think I've
read elsewhere that my bios just makes the time period for supporting the new
drives, but i'm not sure.I would appreciate any help and info on the subject.

                               Thanks in advance,

                                      Daniel Hannon (BUAD1621@ryerson.ca)
