Using SATA to IDE converter with G4 Sawtooth; will it recognize the

I'm still enjoying life with my old G4 (I think it is a Sawtooth
model). I recall from the past that the ATA-33 interface on my machine
apparently would not permit a drive above 128GB or so to be
"recognized" to its full capacity, unless partitioned to lower sized
parcels. With the drop in price of SATA drives, I was considering the
use of a 750GB drive. I realize, of course, that I would have to pick
up one of the SATA to IDE connectors, but wanted to figure out first
of all if the larger drive would be seen in its entirety by the Mac.
In other words, will the use of the converter solve the problem about
the limited size of storage being seen by the Mac? I suppose that if
it will not do so, I would be limited to using such a larger drive in
an external enclosure, but I'd love to use it internally if it would
work.

Thanks for any help,
Paul
