Re: [cobalt-developers] Hard Drive Mounting Brackets

Sean,

I have spoken with Cobalt Tech Support and they have told me that the RAQ3i
will not support an IDE drive over 32G.  This is a limitation of the OS.  I
have put a 40G drive in a 3i and the OS only recognized it as a 6G.  I have
since installed a Maxtor 30G 7200RPM drive and it works fine.  I did notice
about a 2 degree Celcius increase in temperature on the CPU however.
