Note: To support LBA or LARGE mode of HDDs, there must be some
software involved. All the software is located in the Award HDD Service
Routine (1NT 13h). It may fail to access a HDD with LBA (LARGE) mode
selected if you are running under a Operating System which replaces the
whole 1NT 13h.
UNIX operating systems do not support either LBA or LARGE and must
utilize the Standard mode. UNIX can support drives larger than 528MB.
