[Duo2400] 4GB limit?

[Andy Nicholl]

This posting just reminded me that I meant to ask you, the experts:-

What is the situation with upgrading hard drives on the 2400c?  Is there a
4GB limit on disc size?  is there some relationship between this and the
SCSI/IDE interface/conflict.

I tried looking on the Apple site and ended up more confused - one article
said that HDDs could not be more than 4 GB, another said it could as long as
the last 16MB was partitioned out and not used.  What is the true situation?

Ihave a spare 10GB drive, Apple formatted, which I hope will fit when I get
round to dismembering my 2400 for memory and CPU upgrades.

Thanks,

Andy

What capabilities does it gain via the IDE drive? What's the HDD MB
size limit on the PB150? Thx.
