[MacDV] Re: re hard drive enclosure

[R B Williams]

Anyone know what it takes for an external FW drive to mount big discs in OSX Panther? I
just purchased 2 external firewire boxes that were identified on the packaging to handle
big disks (137 gb & larger) but they don't. The Mac system profiler shows -

Capacity - 2 TB
Manufacturer - Shining Technology, Inc

But it identifies the installed drive as 127 mb total size (It's a 180). The same drive
shows its full capacity when mounted on the internal ATA bus.

Thanks for your thoughts.   R.B.
