I want to get a big hard drive inside the computer using the ATA connection
How big ccan I go?

* Intech's ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver
* A PCI IDE card that supports big drives
* A FireWire enclosure that supports big drives
or is it a hardware thing?
But, are all the solutions besides the external involving a PCI slot?
Mine are all taken
though I suppose I don't need my SCSI card anymore . . . . hm?!
