I actually need 40+ GB, so even with a max of 4 ide drives at 8GB, I wouldn't have made it. Network shares aren't going to be an option, either.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, I managed to get the VMWare Buslogic SCSI controller working, so my immediate problem is solved. But I am still curious as to why IDE maxed out at 8GB. Any SCO gurus out there?

Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to virtualize an old Unixware 2.1 installation we have here under VMWare esxi. I've been able to successfully install UW21, but the no matter how big of a disk I provision for the installation, the disk partitioning dialog shows a disk with a bit less than 8GB. Is there a limit there? Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X.
