There is the Hi-Cap utility from InTech but that is $25 or so... http://www.speedtools.com/ATA6.html There is also an Open Firmware hack that enables you to bypass the 128Gb limitation of the older G4 logicboards http://nanchatte.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/128gb-large-hdd-lba48-support-on-the-g4-cube-with-leopard/ I have tried the Intech one and never run into any problems with it but some people have. Nowadays, I have a Sonnet IDE card to take larger drives in my Sawtooth and Digital Audios plus a SATA card in my MDD.
