Does this mean the Qube 2 IDE interface is capable of seeing the whole
disk, i.e. LBA48? As I understand it that limit is at or around
~ 140GB. How do you work around this?

I've had another reply that the trick is to put the bigger disk(s) on a
separate PCI card, but I'm guessing the Qube cannot be configured to
boot from that instead of the onboard controller? I'd rather not get
into the whole 2+ disks/roasted PSU issue, one disk will be plenty.

Cheers

Matt
