Through System 7.5, the Mac did support up to 2 GB per partition and up to 8 partitions per drive, so any Mac should be able to handle up to a 16 GB hard drive. With 7.5.5 or 7.6, Apple doubled that to 4 GB partitions, and with 8.0 or 8.1 moved somewhere into the terabyte range (4?). For the record, DOS supported drives to 32 MB, then had to be rewritten to pass that limit. A few years later they had to rewrite the MS operating systems again to support 512 MB drives. And Win95 won't work with drives (or is it just partitions?) over 2 GB. Amazing to think System 6 and 7 would work with 2 GB partitions back when DOS had a 32 MB barrier. ;-) As for terabyte drives on a Power Mac 9500, that's going to depend on which version of the Mac OS you're running.
