[SunRescue] 4.5 gig drive in 386i?

[Joshua D. Boyd]

I think that it will work in pretty much anything, but the machine might
have trouble with large partition sizes (I seem to remeber there being a 2
gig limit on the Sun3s).  I haven't actually tried it yet.  I do want to
replace my big, loud, power hungry harddrives in my Sun3 with something
newer someday, but I haven't hasd the time to fiddle with it.
