I have read reports that even though Apple claims no more than 128GB can be read on a iMac G4, people have installed 200GB and up drives with no issue. I understand that the 1ghz and up models officially support large drives, i am hoping my 700mhz will as well.

Anyone on the board actually have a 700/800mhz machine reading over 128GB?

Thanks!
