>From a quick Google, I gather the Tandy 1000 will also do SCSI with a suitable
add-in card, which gives an opportunity to go above 520MB. I've successfully
plugged a CF-IDE adaptor into an Acard SCSIDE adaptor and plugged that into a
SCSI controller on an old but fun system.

(Bonus fun question: the system in question had a disk size limit of exactly
2**32 bytes unless you used SCSI and a custom filesystem that did raw SCSI to
bypass the system's block layer. What was it?)
