Actually, you should be able to use drives up to 4 GB in SCSI Target Mode
just fine on these 'Books. And that's 4 REAL gigabytes, or 4,294,967,296

fine.

It seems you have a dock that is either switchable, or you have a
dedicated SCSI dock adapter, not a regular powerbook SCSI adapter.
The switchable adapter, when in dock mode, turns your powerbook into
just a disk drive, with a icon marching on the screen to tell you
what the SCSI ID is,
.
You can get the same card with native Mac drivers and a big endian
(well big anyway) dongle for $30 or so if you buy a Farallon Mac
PCMCIA card, for a lot more money.
