Are you assuming that re: the BIOS limit or the 13G HDD I use?
If it is the BIOS limit, no, it is not 12.7, but 127. If that sounds
outrageously high, keep in mind that each of the different limits seemed
outrageously high when put into place. With 30+ GB drives coming out now,
I estimate we'll hit 127G in two years.
If it is the HDD, the drive is advertised as 13.5, but 12 is actually
closer to the mark -- they used G=10^9 rather than G=2^30. At 13ish, that
becomes just shy of a 1GB difference.
