 The limit is for each physical device, so don't worry.
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

No, as stated the 4GB limitation is PER HD. And the other important limitation to remember is 2GB limitation per partition.

That means you can have practically as many partitions as you want on HD until they are all smaller than 2GB each and total usage of the HD will be under 4GB.


 Not true, either.

 Going out the scope of the question: you can use any HD up the Petabytes!!! (to be released some day), but without a lot of patches the Amiga will not even boot.

 Check this site for more information on the 4Gb barrier.

 And remember to patch the SCSI.device itself to use a HD with more than 127Gb.;-)
