to the best of my knowledge, AT style machine do not support disk with
more than 1024 tracks.  i have read, however, that you can purchase a
special ROM BIOS, and once you do this, you should be able to type the
drive parameters in via fdisk and all should be well!

i am not sure of any companies that sell such a BIOS, may you could call
the Phoenix folks and ask --

-- anyone know of companies that sell such a monster for the 286 or 386
   machines ??
