[G4] Slow bus :(

[Eric Smith]

The 128GB disk size was a limitation of the original ATA spec.
It has nothing to do with USB. So no, a USB drive will not have
that size limitation.

What do you mean by slow bus speed? If you connect a USB 2.0 drive
you will get USB 2.0 speed, theoretically 480Mbps but in practice
somewhat less.
