Here is a thread that discusses hard drives. Does not cover A500 per se but it does cover some limitations with some filing systems. I have recently formatted a 2.5" 60gig hard drive for my A1200 using Smart File System (SFS.lha v1.277) and Hard Disk Install Tool (HDinst.lha v6.9) in 4g-25g-26g partitions.

What is the hard disk size limit?
