Please re-read. The question was the maximum size of the COMPLETE harddisk.
I was talking about two separate devices with a maximum of 8 GB (and 1
master and 1 slave, 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 times 8 GB is a full maximum per
interface of 16 GB). I know it's a bit difficult to get this the way I wrote
this, but it is a fact.
