At a rough guess I would say that about 350Meg is the limit for a 3.5"
drive (right now anyway).  Definitely less than 500 Meg.  Micropolis
is shipping the largest 5.25" drive right now, about 2.0 Gig.  I don't
know what the capacities are in *"and larger drives.  I don't think 
any of them are SCSI.  

I've got another question (to keep you gurus on your toes :->).  SCSI
has a block address limit of about 1.2 Gig for 512 Byte blocks.  If I
buy a 2.0 Gig drive and partition the drive into at least two logical
drives, do I avoid this problem?  This is a serious question.  I ordered
a SPARC 2 with a pair of 2.0 Gig drives for work and I'm not sure what
will happen when we format them.  So enlighten me O gurus.
