Hi guys,

I've finally started playing with the SCSI-to-IDE adapter that I picked up from Trag. I've got it installed in an old external case, along with a 30gb Maxtor drive. I'm getting ready to format and partition it, but I'm wondering just how big those partitions can be. Going by:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8647

I would assume that I'll have to divide the drive into 2gb chunks, but I just wanted to double-check with you guys and see.

I'm on the lookout for one of those Jackhammer SCSI cards - if I find one, will that have any effect on the maximum partition size?

Thanks for the info,

Huxley
