Re: Hard Drive ?

[Glenn Schunemann]

The recognition of various drive sizes has something to do with a 
gentle combination the Mac's firmware, IDE bus architecture, etc. There 
is no way to "force" the internal bus to see more of the drive. 
However, it can be remedied with an ATA controller card. The controller 
cards have firmware and bus architecture that allows bigger drives.

there a
work around for more recognition?
