I don't know if you can still buy some, but you should look for an SATA
PCI
card - this will bypass the 128G limitation (back then a separate IDE PCI
card solved the problem with larger IDE drives).
The problem may be that most cards are PCIe(xpress) this day, and old
fa****oned PCI cards are getting rare.
