I got a new old Fujitsu ErgoPro e663 and it came with the latest bios installed (1.00.05.dt0). I want to buy a new harddrive for the machine but I have no idea how big ones it supports. Anybody know anything? I have looked at the handbook and googled but I couldn't find anything. This is fairly important for me because I don't want to buy a big disk just to find out it's not supported. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I though maybe some one here would know.

Looks like Intel PD440FX board. According to this http://support.intel.com/support/mother ... 009028.htm, it should go up to 128GB with the latest Intel BIOS. If your board is OEM version, the Intel BIOS might not work.

I see no extra character after the original string so latest Intel bios should work.

Thanks a lot. I was under the impression that version five was the newest and I'm very happy to find out that there is a update. I wondered around the bios and messed with the harddrive settings. The highest I was able to go on manually setting the sectors and such was 64G so I'm thinking that's how much this version supports. 60G might just be enough so I'm not updating just yet but it's good to know that I can if I need to.
