One way around the 128 GB barrier of the pre-G4 "mirror door" machines, including the Beige, is to use SCSI, either the motherboard's SCSI (Beige) or a SCSI card (B&W and later). With an ACARD SCSIDE "Bridge" on a HUGE UATA drive, that drive will be seen as a HUGE SCSI drive, with no limits as to size. Alas, one drive per "Bridge", but I've got a 250 GB drive in my Beige, and a 400 GB would not be a problem to support. ACARD is one of the very few companies to retrofit 48-bit LBA support to some its older products. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
