This amuses me because it is Mac history repeating itself. The first IDE enabled Mac was the Quadra (LC/P) 63x. It had a problem with the Western Digital 1.2 GB drive which was very common not long after folks reached the point that they wanted to upgrade their 63Xs. So it was believed by many that you couldn't use an IDE drive larger than 1 GB in the 63X because that one common drive had a problem with the 63X or vice versa.
