"The B&W G3 doesn't support drives over 128 GB on its main drive bus, but the UltraATA 66 bus used by the optical drives supports so-called Big Drives - and it's twice as fast."
The HD bus is Ultra/33 (33 MB/s). The Optical bus is DMA (16.67 MB/s). Both buses can support large drives using the "usual suspect" techniques. The LBA48 property patch is perhaps more appropriate for later (say, Graphite) Macs, both of which buses are Ultra (although at different maximum rates). The High Cap kext perhaps works best where the buses are different, which is the B&W case. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
