Wrong.  I researched at Intech's site.  HDST PC Drive utility allows you to
format the drive into separate volumes in OSX that fool the original
controller into seeing the entire capacity if you format the drive into
smaller partitions.  IE, say on a 160g drive, you use HDST to make a 120g
partition and a 40g partition.  N'ya, n'ya.  Remember Mark, what happens
when you assume?  As Tony Randal once said, you make an ass out of U and
me...heheh.

Thank You,
