I have an 2 internals in my g4 400, i have been told several times that the machine can only use 100g internals.

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
