I believe another way to get around the limitation, is to use a PCI  
IDE controller card that permits the larger drives. I have one that  
does not, an older Sonnet Tempo ATA100, and another one that does,  
the Sonnet Trio ATA133/FW400/USB1.1.

I am curious if the ATA100 one I have, would allow the larger drives,  
if I did the LBA48 Property mod on my Yikes!, a first cousin to the  
B&W. Probably still not?
