The 5300 trackpad is indeed tappable, but you need a shareware app called ClickPad II to make it work that way.
A bit hard to find these days, but it's out there.
Well, by definition, all trackpads _are_ tappable (otherwise they wouldn't work!). ;-)
But the models Apple used in the 5x0 and 5300 weren't engineered with that in mind. As a result, the OS doesn't enable clicking on the trackpad. The 3rd generation trackpad (used in the 190, 2300, 1400, and up) was engineered to be clickable, and the OS (all versions that will run on a 190 through OS X) supports that particular feature.
ClickPad II works by recognizing quick changes in capacitance and interprets that as a "click". Sometimes it interprets correctly, sometimes it does not. At least for me. I know that you are very satisfied with it, though, so I'd love to see what you do differently than me!
Do you have Trackpad Climate Control installed?
Peace, Drew
