Is Logical Block Addressing (LBA) BIOS support needed when using the DOS on drives greater than 528 MB?

DOS requires Logical Block Addressing (LBA) BIOS support to see the full capacity of the drive. If the motherboard BIOS does not support the LBA feature, 3rd Party BIOS support will be needed.

It is recommended to:
Upgrade the system Motherboard.
Purchase/Install an Enhanced IDE Interface (EIDE) card with onboard BIOS that provides support for large capacity drives.
