Hey all I'm looking for a new HD for my 3400 but Not sure if there is a drive size limit. Can I go over the 8gig drive in it now?
Thanks Gary -- Gary, try the following link for more info: http://www.insanely-great.com/features/020121.html As far as I know you can put anything you like in there but I may be wrong. The only note on the site about the 3400 says the following: "(b) PowerBook 3400s shipped with 3.0GB HDs as their largest drives. Installing a larger-capacity drive precludes the use of SCSI Disk Mode. This may wipe out data. It is unclear whether this problem afflicts the PowerBook G3 (3500/Kanga) or PowerBook 2400, which employ similar hardware ROMs and EIDE controllers." So I guess you can put any size you like in as long as you don't want to use SCSI disk mode. I recently upgraded my drive and it's a fairly simple procedure. Hope that helps, Tim. -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
