Sorry if this is repeat info.

It does not show as new in the list and the date on the page has not  been
updated (still 9-12-2002) but the  package has been updated.  This is a
free download from SWC.

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/warp/swchoice/
  Look under:  OS/2 Component Updates -> 
                        Enhanced IDE Support (IDEDASD) -> 
                        IDE DASD/CDROM Support

Someone has also uploaded a re-packaged (ZIP) copy to Hobbes (Original is
a self extracting EXE.)

-------------------- Snippet from the readme dated 6-12-2003
-------------------------
    This version  of the IBM1S506.ADD driver has the 48 bit LBA  support
and the driver will automaticaly detect drives with the capability of 48 
bit LBA. This 48 bit LBA support will allow the use of hard disk drives
with up up to 2 TB (Terabytes) (1 TB = 1024 GB) in size.  Currently the
OS2DASD.DMD driver has a limitation of 502 GB in  size for a hard disk. 
Therefore the maximum physical hard disk size OS/2 will  support currently
is 502 GB.
