I can't help with the trackpad cable, but you can put any capacity 2.5" drive you can find in the 2300. I haven't heard of it being done, but I would expect a 48GB IBM drive to work just fine in the 2300. (except maybe some heat issues, but even then.) A note of caution, however: The 2.5" HDD larger than, say, 1.1GB often have their mounting screws located in the wrong place to allow the use of the stock Duo brackets. If you have a 12.5mm (I think) or thinner drive, you can purchase an adapter set, but (because I had a 17mm drive) I simply used plastic zip-ties to lash the brackets to the drive. It wasn't pretty, but it worked flawlessly. There is a picture on my page showing the drive in the Duo with the case off.
