AFAIK, there's no limit. And there's no limit that I know of on
internal drives. It's only when mounting the 2400 *AS IF* it were a
hard drive on your desktop that there's a known limitation with
drives larger than 4G.
Since I've never used SCSI disk mode (I don't even have the cable for
it) I don't consider this a serious limitation. Everything you can
do in SCSI disk mode you can do by just mounting the PB drive over
the network.

I use Retrospect from Dantz Development. <http://www.retrospect.com/>
I have only good things to say about Dantz in terms of support and
service, though Retrospect's interface can make it confusing to use.
For users with limited backup needs, Retrospect Express serves very
well, and is $49 or less.
