With 3.x firmware yes -- in 2.x system volumes are limited to a limit
close to 32Gbytes.

Your firmware looked like 2.19 from your boot messages; the card I have
was delivered from DEC with 2.10.

Unfortunately it's only possible to upgrade a 2.x version to another
2.x version -- not to 3.x.

Yes, (sorry-- forgot to say before) it runs only under DOS on an i386.

There is supposed to be a "bios-based" config utility, but I've never
been able to activate it -- perhaps it is a 3.x only thing.

best of luck,
