Upgrade a Linksys EFG80

I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully upgraded a Linksys EFG80 with a hard drive 200gb or greater? According to linksys, it only supports up to 120gb but there is a new firmware out but it doesn't list any details about if the new firmware allows larger hard drives? Anyone have any ideas for this?
 
To be safe I would still say stick with the 120GB number. However, I would call Linksys and ask them if it supports 48-Bit Addressing with the new firmware, which will allow you to use larger drives.
 
I've been dying to get one of these, but waiting for good price. How is yours working out? Care to post a mini review?
 
From what I read, the buffalo has optional software but you can also setup shares on the linkstation and then map them as another drive. Is this not correct?
 
Can you upgrade the buffalo? I think I would need at least 200gig to be worth it. I've been in the market for one of these bad boys for a while.
 
Yes, from what I've read, it supports the largest IDE hard drive available, currently 300gb. I will be picking one of these up very shortly, the management interface and features look very nice. Also, I was reading it runs off of linux, making it easily hackable (hack it to run DHCP, mail server, web server, etc)
