Years ago, I found out what I thought to be sufficient info to
upgrade my 320P from the 40mb drive it had, to a 120mb I had
been able to obtain... apparently type 46 and type 47 in the
BIOS are user definable. And I guess I didn't have all the
info, or I touched the wrong area because I essentially 'bricked'
my 320p. It no longer boots.
If you do find out how to do it reliably, I'd be interested in
trying to fix it.
