[ltp] Largest HD on TP43

[Shingo tamaru]

Just for your information.
There are a few reports of successful modification
of T43 to install a SATA HDD.

These are from China.

I personally don't own a T43 so cannot explain how to
do this mod in English. If you can somehow read these
pages, think about giving it a try.

Once your T43 is modified to take a SATA HDD, you will
have much larger storage capacity than PATA.
