The PAR acts as a VIRTUAL DRIVE in workbench. You must be running the PAR software in order for the PAR to be recognized by Lightwave or Workbench.

If you are running the PAR software then in order to view the PAR drive you use the drive name DDR:  It will not show up on your desktop.

Open a CLI and type DDR: and you should see the PAR drive.

Hope that helps

Seagate ST31220A 1gig
Connor CFA1275A 2.27gig
Micropolis 2217A 1.6gig
Seagate ST3600A ? gig
Seagate Medalist ST34321A 8 gig (I think)
quite a few other Seagate STxxxxA drives will work with this card, the 13GB ST313021A worked (as an 8GB drive) with the PAR card.

The maximum size IDE drive the PAR will recognize is 8GB. Any drive larger than that will show as an 8GB drive.

8GB is the max the PAR drive can see due to the limitations of the BIOS on the PAR.
