 just what those things were offhand.
 IRIX 4D1-3.3 seems to not like drives much over 1GB, many VAXstations 
don't like drives over 1.05GB for VMS, SCSI Apollo/DOMAIN systems don't 
like drives much over 2GB. I know there's more but can't recall right 
now.

There should probably be a "disk size limits FAQ" somewhere to hold all 
of this
