   With AHDI you can only access the first GByte of such a drive, and with   
   some drives AHDI will not work at all.   
   In order to access drives bigger than 1 GByte with their full capacity   
   you need a Link host adapter, preferably a LINK96 or LINK97, since those   
   are the only ones that work with any SCSI drive.
