Smartport Limitation

    Remember that I mentioned in a previous newsgroups about ProDOS Kernel
Rewritten to handle 8GB blocks.  David is right that it has to do with
firmware.  I did check to find out about Smartport firmware.  Smartport
firmware can handle up to 8GB using $FFFFFF (24 bit) blocks.  With $FFFFFF
blocks of 8GB will work with any format such as ProDOS, HFS, and others.
    I don't know if there is a newr version of Smartport that will handle
$FFFFFFFF (32 bit) blocks that will go up to 2TB.  I don't know if Macintosh
still uses Smartport that has 24 bit or 32 bit blocks.  Please check
Smartport information on Macintosh for me please.  Thanks...
