I have not found this to be quite true with the TVS200 (2GB drive).
Although 2GB drives are hard to find, the newer Fujitsu (and some IBM)
drives have a "legacy" jumper that makes them appear to be only 2GB in
size - and they work fine in the TVS200.

I'd bet that if you could find a hard drive of say 400MB, it would work
fine.  Even the oldest BIOS is able to handle drives up to 504 MB (528MB in
some implementations).

Yup, BIOS is the issue.  Practically nobody envisioned the monster hard
drives that are currently available.  Other major BIOS revisions have
occurred for disks over 2GB, thus the "legacy" jumper.  In case you were
wondering, the next big leap occurs at 128GB, which is not far away since
80GB drives are readily available.
