Yeah, I'll bet. I forget what the max is, but I think 40-60g drives are too much for a PB 1400, IIRC.
I have a 10g TravelStar to put in, but I'd like another 10 or 20g portable ATA external (it has a SCSI port, but they are all way spendy, too) with a card connection. BTW, anyone seen a 64mb RAM for the 1400c lately? Thanks, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
