Ultra ATA 133 Interface
I just noticed the interface -- I guess it means it won't work with
my Sawtooth, ATA 100 machine.
MacTracker says that my machine is ATA33. I'm running a WDC WD1200JB
and full access to 111.76MB HDD, formatted for Mac OS Extended
(journaled) however I'm sure that my system is limited to 128MB due to
the disk address schema. Which I believe is a hardware limitation.
It will work, but all you'll see is 130GB of it; to see the whole
drive you need an ATA card.
Umm, I'm afraid that is incorrect.
The interface speed is irrelevant to the ability of the machine to
see the
full drive size. If the sawtooth IDE can see drives larger than 120,
it
will be fine, it just won't run at the full speed the drive is
capable of.
You are correct in stating that the speed of the interface and the
ability of the system to see the full size are unrelated.
However, the Sawtooth is both ATA 100 AND limited to 128Gb maximum
size.
