Nope, I tried a large ATA-6 hard drive in my 2400 and it absolutely

works just fine.
As far as an installation guide goes, don't have that either but
you do have to take a lot of the machine apart to get at the
drive. A good thing to do when you first take a PowerBook apart is
to take a piece of paper and assume its perimeter is the perimeter
of the base of the PowerBook. Then as you remove screws, mark
their locations on the paper. Or if you know the names of
components, you can just make a list of the lengths of screws and
through what components / general locations they attach. The big
thing is making sure you get all of the long screws through the
boards in to the chassis. Some long screws will fit where short
ones are supposed to go, but most/no short screws will fit where
long screws are supposed to go.
Just go really slowly and watch that you don't yank the ribbon
cables, you should be fine.

Hi All,
I haven't worked out how to search old postings to the list - is
it possible?
What I'm interested in is a new hard drive for my PowerBook - it
hasn't arrived yet but I'm in planning mode. Anyway, when I
checked hard drives on OWC, they come up with ATA/6 options - but
LowEndMac warns that the drive controller in pre-G4 PowerBooks is
incompatible with ATA-6 hard drives. Is ATA/6 OK?
Anyone have installation guides?
Cheers,
Rob
