30 GB is largest for a qube, unless you update the kernel.
Even then you have to be careful, I have found 30GB drives
that would not work. I think its 32.8 or something and I had
a 33.3 GB or similar that would not work.
there are complicated ways to get around it, search google for
linux large drives
About the SCSI, I don't know, you'll probably have to experiment.
