My question is, will any IDE drive work (less that 120 gigs)? Use any drive with a 40-pin interface (PATA). It matters little whether the drive is /100 or /133 as the Mac and the drive will negotiate the speed down to /66 or /33, anyway. I don't know with certainty when the LBA48 property was added to the G4 Macs, but some can address large drives by adding the property to the Mac's NVRAM. Also, there is the "High Cap" kext, which has been around for nearly a decade. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
