wasnt there software to make a Mac to see large drives.

its name is

Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools

but from what i have herd in the IRC channel that it can cause problems like data corruption and other bad stuff.

if you want to chance it then go ahead but be warned about what it can lead up to. and if you try it you use it from your own free will.

the best method is to use a PCI IDE controller ( like a sonnet tempo trio which has firewire/ USB 2.0 and a IDE controller that will allow you to see larg HDDs) but this method is a bit high in price.

i dont know if there is both a OS 9 version and a OS X version or just a OS X version of the software way
