Exactly. When I was negotiating with Snap Appliance to have them add LBA48 to the 4100, they first said that the Promise chips couldn't do LBA48. When I sent them the appnote, they said they'd discuss the project internally and get back to me. Ultimately, they decided to not quote it as they were concentrating on the newer GuardianOS models. Also, I suspect they didn't want to let the 4100 compete with the larger models. They had to do LBA48 for devices like the 1100 - who would buy a 120GB NAS these days?
