Apple HD SC Setup was updated to provide support for 4 GB (gigabyte) Apple hard disk drives. Apple HD SC 7.3.5 now handles the initialization and mounting of 4 GB drives. A 4 GB hard drive is available with the Workgroup Server 8150/110 and 9150/120*. Each of those systems (and the Power Macintosh 8100/110) can accommodate volumes up to 4 GB. The HD SC Setup 7.3.5 utility and the hard disk driver that is installed when a user performs an "Update Driver" command with this utility is appropriate for use on all Macintosh computers.
