The limit is both in hardware AND software. For example the OS 7.6 read me file: <http://support.apple.com/kb/TA36358> Specifically: * Computers with 68040 microprocessors and computers with PowerPC processors that use the NuBus expansion bus can use large disks These computers can now use disks larger than 4 gigabytes, up to a maximum of 2 terabytes. On 68040 computers, large disks cannot be used as startup disks, and cannot contribute to virtual memory totals. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
