Chuckle, spare a thought for having to use 140k 5.25" floppies then.  :)

I noticed in a later message you mention putting larger values in the custom bios settings.  You can put whatever values you want in there, but the 500Mb BIOS limit still remains. I remember having to use OnTrack as well.. didn't think to much about it at the time. Times change though.
