Personal Animation Recorder IDE AV hard drive.

[Jeff]

I just used a plain old WD 10 gig IDE drive on my PAR card and it seemed to work fine. Granted I haven't done anything really in depth with it other than a quick test to see if the card worked.

Do these cards need a special AV drive? Do you know what the maximum supported capacity is?

There may be a problem with capacities greater than 8 gigs but in the end you will probably have to test it yourself as it seems that results vary. I have read a post from at least one person using a larger drive with his, but I can't find it now. I also don't know what revision of PAR he was using.

Look here for some information about boards and chip revisions. BBOAH Par
Let me know if you can conform anything as I have one of these along with several TBC IV's and would be curious.
