There is no capacity limit with an ICD-compatible adapter. In practice
with plain TOS 1.04 and depending on the hard disk driver you can have
16 partitions with 512 MB each, which is more than the capacity of your
drive. With Big-DOS, MiNT or Magic you can even have more (and bigger)
partitions.

There are details about these limits on
