Isn't this just a simple partition problem. I've got two early beige G3's. These couldn't see beyond 6 or 8GB (cant' remember it was so long ago) but I have two large HDs in both. The HDs have a bunch of partitions on them for various reason, but the first partition, with the OS is only 6/8 GB, the rest of the partitions are much much bigger. They work fine. The benefit of partitioning your HD is that you can keep a pristine copy of the OS on the 2nd partition, along with a copy of your favourite Disc maintenance program. Whenever you suspect that the disc needs repair, just restart on the second partition and run the Disc repair program. About twice as fast as finding the CD, restarting off the CD and running the program off the CD.
