I have a PowerComputing PowerBase 180 with a 300MHz Sonnet G3
Crescendo card. It has a 20GB IDE HDD in it and I want to know the
largest HDD it will support without extra software? I want to put in
a 40GB.

Well my problem with it is I need to transfer the system folder and
application folder from another machine and I have only a USB card
with 2 ports to move the 2 folders and that will take a long time.
Also I don't have any CD that will boot the PowerBase.
If anyone already said this, my apologies. 128 GB is the file system
and or hardware limit if I understand the situation correctly. The
Apple Knowledge Base machine description has information on this, as
does Everymac.com, I think.
As far as drive to drive transfer is concerned, you can transfer by:
USB floppy drive, serial cable, ethernet, etc., I also use direct
drive to drive transfer for old machines by attaching one drive to the
SCSI bus of another. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do the physical
work and about an hour or less to actually transfer. Hope this helps.
