Customer reported 8/26/97 Quantum Fireball 2.1GB as an internal
drive and a Toshiba XM-5701B (12X CD)

The official word from YCARD is: "Don't count on anything over a Gig; and I mean not even 1.04 Gig. Even if it *seems* like it's working, it may not be." _FIZBIN_My guess is that if the drive is just under a Gig, it will work (up to1023M). If it's exactly one Gig or greater it will not work.
