Well, it will work just fine. However, you will need to overcome these two issues: 1.) your current drive is SCSI and the 5.1GB is IDE. This means that you will need a new drive cable. 2.) You will have to engage in some clever use of zip-ties to attach the mounting brackets to the drive, or you will have to get an adapter kit, which will only work with the thinner drives. That's all I can think of.... Tom ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
