It's easy to discover which sort of drive it is with Drive Setup. Launch DS and it will list the devices and on which bus they can be found. Of the IDE-bus-equipped PBs, the 2300, 5300, 190 (150 too?) and 3400 will all accept 17mm or thinner drives, all other IDE-using PowerBooks can use 12.5mm or thinner drives. All iBooks are limited to 9.5mm max thickness drives. I've never seen a 17mm ATA drive with a capacity over 1.3GB, and I'm quite certain a 10GB drive will be 12.5mm or 9.5mm thick. hth, Dan K ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
