This is certainly not true. The original Mac mini G4 (1.25 or 1.42 GHz, 32 MiB VRAM) is not more limited in this regard than "silent upgrade" Mac mini G4 (1.33 GHz with 32 MiB VRAM, or 1.5 GHz with 64 MiB VRAM).

There is no such limit with any Mac mini G4.
But according to the discussions I read, there is a real problem 128GB IDE limit issue.

And the limit resides (ouch!) right in the IDE bus.
For MAC it exists this solution

But I don't know if it works as a patch at Firmware level, or if it splits Hard Disk in multiple 127GB partitions visible by the system, or if it installs a patch in any partition header at Filesystem level.
That's all from Mac side... And what about from MorphOS side?
