I sit corrected.

I was under the impression my Sonnet ATA/100 did not have this limit  
on my PCI Graphics Yikes!  which does have the limit on the mobo.

Not having a large drive to test on it, my assumption was incorrect.

I knew 33/66 ones did ... didn't think the 100/133s did.

Thanks for the info.
