The "disk size" web pages:

http://www.asus.it/support/english/t...hdd/index.aspx (modern)
http://www.asuscom.de/support/FAQ/fa...gb_ide_hdd.htm (older)
http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm (patched BIOS)

FAQ076 says:

P3B-1394 / P2..- / ME..- / K7..- / P5.. - Serien bis einschl. 128 GB

Looks like 128GB is the limit, using the latest beta BIOS.

Another option, is to get an ATA133 disk controller board, and
plug that into your computer. If such a board will work in your
computer, it will enable larger disks to be used. The reason
for specifying ATA133, is 48 bit addressing was added to the same
version of the standard as the 133MB/sec data rate.
