With you Quantum Snap 2000 there should be no problems, but you Merridan Snap 2000 thats an unknown.
MarcoP wrote that the 4000 did go above the 130 limit. I'm going to try out the Maxtor drive soon.

I tried a Maxtor 300gb (5A300J0) in my Merridan Snap. Configuration:
BIOS: 1.2.180
Hardware: 1.1.0
Software: 4.0.830
1. I set the jumpers so that it appears as a 32GB drive.
1a. Snap formated it as 32Gb all ok.
2. Removed jumper
3. Debug / “ide 48bitLBACounter reset” / “ide 48bitLBACounter get” result “0”
4. Debug / reinit
5. Format failed, see below.
6. “ide 48bitLBACounter get” result “3"
I think my BIOS/hardware is too old for greater than 137gb.
