Well it depends on the mac model, but I think on the cube the 128Gb limit is due to Openfirmware. If you use an OS not reliyng on Openfirmware routines (like openbsd), you should be able to use a big drive. If you really want to use MacOSX, you can try to change Openfirmware settings : http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhomepage.mac.com%2Fnand%2Fmacosx%2Fbigdrive.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools (do this at your own risk, I didn't try it myself :) -- pazoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pazoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9564 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
