[SunRescue] Max harddisk size for Sun Sparc 20

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Speaking of harddisk size, does anyone actually know of a limit on scsi
drive size?  I once for amusement looked up the parts in the SCSI spec
that seemed relavent, and came up with a number on the order of 16
exabytes per lun, however that seems a touch high...
