The LBA48 property can be added to any late G4, including at least the Gigabits (and possibly also the first AGPs) up to and including the QS 2001. This property is automatically included in all QS 2002 and later G4s. Once the LBA48 property has been added to the boot ROM, using the provided script, it remains active across power cycles, as it is "persistent" within the Mac's non-volatile ROM. It is cleared only after issuing the "reset-nvram" command in O.F. After the LBA48 property has been added, the Mac will recognize every size of ATA drive, whatsoever. Still, it is a good idea to place a partition break at 131,072 MB, just in case that property is removed accidentally. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
