If you stick in an ATA or > SATA controller card there's no limit. Native up to and including QS 2001 is 131,072 MB. Native for QS2002 and later is unlimited. With the High-Cap kext, this can be extended to unlimited for most early G4 models and late G3 models (known not to work with 10.5.x). With the LBA48 property work-around, this can be extended to unlimited for most early G4 models (works perfectly on my DA, and probably works perfectly on all AGP G4s). Native for ATA to 100 is also 131,072, but there are no workarounds. Native for all ATA/133 and the few ATA/100 cards for which there is a released update is unlimited. Native for SATA is unlimited. Native for early 1394 cases (with or without USB 2.0) is 131,072 MB. Native for later 1394 cases (with or without USB 2.0) is unlimited. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
