Hi there, I posted a while back regarding a 2300 in which I was trying to mount a 6GB Drive from a Wallstreet machine. I thought that a followup post might help someone in a similar situation. Well, someone pointed me to The Powerbook Guy, and he sold me some brackets with a disclaimer that the drive had to be less than ??mm (I don't remember exactly how thin) for it to fit. I looked at the drive and it was the same height as the original drive, so I fgured that it wouldn't be a problem. When I got the brackets, I realized that it was a problem. The replacement brackets are little plastic pieces that screw to the bottom of the drive and to which the mounting brackets attach. hence, the bigger drive has to be about 5-6 mm shorter than the original. Whooops. The end result is this: 1.) if anyone wants to buy a set of these brackets, I have some available. I paid $30 for them, so make an offer. 2.) I successfully mounted the drive by the tried and true "Jury Rig(TM)" method. This involved strapping the brackets to the side of the drive using small plastic cable ties (zip-ties). They push a little on the circuit board, but all seems well. We shall see what this does to the drive's longevity....I should have taken some pictures. I might have the top off again to replace the PRAM battery, so maybe then... Tom PS: Hey, at least I didn't use duct tape. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
