Adding large disk support to INT13h (Users)

posted by boeckmann, Aachen, Germany, 01.04.2024, 11:54

Hello,

my Pentium MMX motherboard INT13h functions do not support disk sizes larger than 8.4GB, but the chipset does. Is there any open source solution to add large disk support that does not require me putting in another controller or burning an XT-IDE rom? At [1] is described that some people succeeded running XT-IDE from floppy. Would be great if XT-IDE could be loaded from the disk instead of a floppy. Out of curiosity, are there some other solutions?
