867 G4 128GB limitation?
« on: July 13, 2016, 09:27:33 PM »
I'm reading that the first Macs to accept drives larger than 128GB are the 2002 Quicksilvers. I have a 2001 867 QS but I read that some of the 867s actually support it while some don't (due to Apple beginning to use new parts at that time).

Do I need a 2002 QS and above or am I SOL?

The guy who had / still has(?) the Sawtooth for sale that I posted last week says it has a driver that enables larger partitions.
Maybe he can share the info. His email is in the listing.

Yup. The Speedtools High-Capacity ATA driver…25 bucks. Sounds like the ticket.
