Btw, one more thing. I am attempting to install Mac OS X Tiger on
my iBook original clamshell (with no firewire), but so far, no
luck. I hacked one of the files which had the list of bad
machines, no luck. XPostFacto, no luck. XpostFacto does not work
because it "claims" to not support the PowerBook2,1. CCC, well,
let's just say if i copy it to a disk, it won't boot off that
copy. Anything i could do here? i do need tiger, because a broad
range of my network utilities require Mac OS X 10.4 or later. I
don't have any other Mac laptops besides this one.<<
I've never had any luck installing Tiger directly onto the non-
firewire Clamshell hard drives. However, I've had excellent results
loading the OS onto the hard drive connected to a supported computer
via firewire. After the install, simply (yeah, right - these are a
pain to work on!) install the hard drive into the Clamshell, and
you're good to go. Hope this helps.

How about skipping the HDD replacement and go with CCC? I did my
first Wally via USB.
