Or you could go USB/Firewire and not have the limitations either..........<BR><BR>> Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:08:23 -0700<BR>> From: eric-s-smith@comcast.net<BR>> To: g4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com<BR>> Subject: Re: [G4] MDD - Disc space issues<BR>> <BR>> Hi Kurt,<BR>> <BR>> The disk size limitation was 128GB but I don't think your G4 model<BR>> is restricted to that. This page has more information:<BR>> <BR>> http://lowendmac.com/macdan/05/1024.html<BR>> <BR>> Your drive is probably on the ATA bus and you can only have two<BR>> drives total on that bus. It sounds like the easiest course for<BR>> you would be just to get one additional drive. Assuming you are<BR>> not subject to the size limtation, you can get a 400 or 500GB<BR>> drive for around $100.<BR>> <BR>> I have a G4 Sawtooth and I do have the ATA drive size limitation.<BR>> I originally had two ATA drives, of 20GB and 57GB. I was running<BR>> out of space so I replaced the smaller drive with a 300GB SATA<BR>> drive, which required adding a PCI card SATA controller. I got<BR>> the drive and controller for a total of a little more than $100.<BR>> <BR>> Eric<BR>> <BR>> Kurt A.
