You have two choices if you want to add an internal drive larger than  
128 GB. The first is to buy a PCI serial or parallel ATA controller  
that is Mac compatible. Unfortunately these are considerably more  
expensive for Macs than they are for PCs. A serial controller is  
around $50 and a parallel controller will cost about $70. The other  
option is Intech's Hi-Cap driver (http://www.speedtools.com/ 
ATA6.shtml) for $25. Just make sure you read the Read Me file and are  
willing to live with its limitations.
