[G4] Hard Drive Size

[Eric Smith]

And, by the way, I've seen people in the past blame Apple for
the 128MB drive size limitation, as if it were some hack Apple
introduced. But that actually was a 28-bit logical block address
size limitation inherent in the original ATA spec that wasn't
removed until ATA-6, which went to 48-bit LBA, in 2001.
