[Avid-L2] Apple Firewire 800 Limited to 2TB on external drive?

 

So I put a 3TB Hitachi drive in my HDX Avastor enclosure and if connected with firewire 800 it wants to initialize it.  I've googled and it seems the apple firewire 800 is limited to a 2TB size on drives.  I saw someone mention GUID formatting to avoid the limit.  My HDX also has esata connectivity and that works fine.  I'd never run into this before.  Learn something new every darn day.  Is there a way around the 2TB on firewire 800 limit?
