What is the maximum disk size the BIOS on a Celebris GL 5120 will accept?

    The current max is 2.1GB. We'll ask Taiwan to increase it (same as we
    did for Venturis and Venturis FX).

7204.6Oh? My Celebris GL5120 is running with a 3.2GBFIEVEL::FILGATEBruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452Fri May 16 1997 15:179
 Should I be worried?  When I ran out of space, I just tossed in a
 3.2GB and had the bios do an autotype on the disk.  It sized fine,
 and Windows 95 installed ok.  The only snag is that Windows 95B
 has a bug with large disks and incorrectly graphs the size/usage
 statistics in the pie chart showing the entire disk as free space
 regardless of the amount of data stored.

Did I also read that we were going to get a new BIOS for the Celebris FP series?

    I'll check on the BIOS for the Celebris FP (although I think that that
    has already been done).
    
    On the note .6, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same MLB. My
    understanding is that the Celebris GL (Telluride) has a max autodetect
    of 2.1GB. I' check with Engineering again.
