Don't understand what you mean by this, can you please explain???

Some disk manufacturers make it possible to restrict the max. capacity
of a bigger than 128/137GB disk to 128/137GB by setting a jumper on the
drive, as some did in earlier years for over 8GB and over 32GB drives.

This would make it possible to use the harddisk with Windows 98SE.

In the ATA standard, that has many disk commands, are commands that have
to do with setting a maximum capacity like command "Set Maximum Address".
Some harddisk manufacturers have downloadable software that can change
properties of a disk, like running slower for less noise and maybe also
to set the maximum capacity to something like 128/137GB.
Sorry, I can't show you an example of this at the moment.
