The limitation is "for the physical device," as described in the  
following Apple Support document:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178>

However, I have two >128 GB drives in a Server G4 (Sawtooth), both of  
which are used to full capacity through the ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver  
in Intech SpeedTools, which is available at a good price from OWC:
