You can convert EIDE/UATA to SCSI, using an ACARD SCSIDE "Bridge". SCSI drives are stuck in neutral (in SCSI) ;-) . An advantage of the latest version of the SCSIDE "Bridge" product is it can covert a 48-bit LBA drive to SCSI and, thereby, address the entire drive. EIDE/UATA drives which are connected directly to the motherboard's controller are stuck at 127 GB, in most circumstances (in all circumstances if Channel 0 is used, as its DMA mode cannot support 48-bit LBA; Channel 1 can, in some instances, support 48-bit LBA, as this channel doesn't use DMA). -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
