Nothing special with ax6bc. It is an Intel BX chipset board.
If you add a pci harddisk controller, per example a promise, you will
gain substantially better harddisk speed with a 7200 rpm modern
harddisk, and the bios of the controller take care of the size, if it
is a big one.
A bios update can be necessary for booting via a promise controller.

Note that the aopen flasher exe file requires a lot of conventional
memory, so booting very simple on an old dos 5 or 6 can be necessary.
