No, Tiger itself doesn't get past this limit. However, there is something called the SpeedTools ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver that does (and doesn't require upgrading the IDE controller). It costs $25. I use it on my Mac Cube with a 250GB IDE drive and it works fine. If I remember correctly, it does force you to have two partitions -- so I have one 20GB partition for the OS & apps, and the rest of the disk for a data partition for my music files. http://www.speedtools.com/ATA6.shtml muski -- muski ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39312 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
