[G4] Large Hard Drive Install

I have a Maxtor ATA/100 internal hard drive, 200 GB.

My G4 450 only reads it as 32 GB.

I installed a PCI host adapter card but it still only
reads as 32 GB.  

The Maxtor drive box says that I will need an ATA PCI
card with 48-bit BIOS support.  The card I bought is
only a 32-bit  (card info here -
http://www.macsense.com/product/storage/sua-100e_b.html).
 

Could that be the problem?

Is there a fix other than buying another PCI card?

Thanks,  ShaneB
