The maximum supported disk image size for IDE or SCSI is 131071 MB. Disk overlay software such as *Ontrack Disk Manager* can work around BIOS limits and allow booting of IDE hard drives within the 131071 MB limit, with the same caveats as using such software on a real machine.

Vision Systems LBA Enhancer
---------------------------
Add an IDE Enhancer option ROM card, which can help work around the :ref:`hard disk size limits <hardware/diskimages:Hard disk size limits>` on many older machines. Hard disks up to 8055 MB (16367 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors) in size are supported; they must be manually configured to **8 cylinders, 8 heads and 8 sectors** on the machine's BIOS setup utility for the Enhancer to handle them.
The BIOS option ROM address used can be configured through the *Settings* button.
.. note:: Added in **86Box 4.1.1**.
