I believe that I first suggested such drives in previous similar threads. I have two of the TravelStar 8E drives, which work on several PowerBook 3400c's with no problems. I remember talking with IBM Technical Support staff just after I bought my first drive. They said that the drives should work with PowerBooks, but they were not in a position to answer specific Macintosh-related questions. At no time did they state that the drives were "not compatible with Macs." It is a simple matter of formatting the drives for Macs with the Apple Drive Setup or similar third-party utilities. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
