I tried; 
Cylinders - 976
Heads     - 64
Sectors   - 63

today - which is what OnTrack suggested my 2GB CFCard 'is' - but the BIOS didn't like that and failed the controller card...


I'd just around the bend from ordering 4 500MB CFCards and mounting them thru the rear of the machine and be done w/ the issues of higher capacity HDDs. :P

I did get a fully registered copy of Terminal Velocity - my very favorite DOS era game - loaded today... so theres that. :P
