I read Intech's 128 GB "White Paper" (it's available for download) a long time before I ever approached MacOS X, so I already had in mind how I was going to approach this issue. The key is to set the very first partition to 131,072 MB, or, if there is an 8 GB partition for "Old World" compatibility, then set two partitions, one at 8,192 MB (8 GB) and the other at 131,072 MB (128 GB). The remainder becomes the "above the line" partition, or partitions. The beauty of the NVRAM patches is it is good at all times, not just after booting has been completed, and the drives have had their "roll call" completed. I see that Intech has released Version 3.0 of "High-Cap", and it claims to support 10.5. Alas, the "High Cap" which I bought, but which Intech failed to issue a receipt so that I could get a free update to 3.0, is at Version 1.3, so, naturally, it doesn't support 10.5. But no matter, I already have 10.5 support using the patches, and I'm not going to pay Intech twice to receive something which I should only have paid once. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Thanks. Nice looking little app. Have you (or others) used it when the drive is already partitioned? My first 2 OS X partitions are within the 128GB limit. I am currently running off a Sonnet Trio ATA133/FW/USB which permits lba48, but I wanted to move my 500GB drive to the onboard ATA channel, to see if I get better DVD Player performance. I will also be moving the drive to my incoming Digital Audio Dual 533, and hope I can perform the Overdrive mod and have no issues with my 500GB drive that is already partitioned ... what do you think? Perhaps I should also install my old 80GB as a buffer drive, since I may need to boot into OS 9 (for Firmware Updates only) ... or is that somewhat forbidden after >128GB drives are installed?
