Any 2.5" ATA drive should work. Note the thread about SCSI disk mode if you put in one larger than 4GB, and installing newer drives requires some minor drill surgery on the HDD cage to put mounting holes in the right place. Also, the existing drive may have a jumper in place next to where the hdd cable plugs in; it looks like a master/slave setting. I replaced the jumper in my new drive in the same position (the drive came from an upgraded PB G3) and it didn't work, but removing the jumper did work. You may need to experiment a bit. > -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B. Banzai, Ph.D. Bruce Johnson -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
