Hmm...probably, though it might be too thick, that sounds like an 17-18mm drive. Electronically, it will work fine...Apples Drive Setup will format virtually any 2.5" ATA drive out there. The 2.5 inch form factor is a set size, in terms of width and length, though mounting holes will vary. They do vary a bit in thickness...modern powerbooks are limited to 12mm or less, iirc. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
