[G4] New hard drive question

[rich northouse]

Hi Folks,

When did things change in regard to big drives.  When I installed my 
180 gig about a year ago, the system would only see about 120 gig. I 
needed to use a PCI card to see the full 180 gig.  I haven't tried to 
format a drive recently, but I believe you guys that it now works. But 
it didn't before.  So when did things change and what was the cause.  
Could it have been OSX.3 ??
