Re: IBook Adapter was Re: Hard Drive Access.
Dave, shoudln't be any reason why not. As long as it would fit and is the same interface, it should be fine. Well Sandi did say she already has done this. So, if Sandi did it, then I guess it can be done and if not, she'll find you a solution. :) On Apr 1, 2009, at 3:01 PM, Dave Wright wrote: > > Has anyone been brave enough to put an SSD in their Macs?

Re: IBook Adapter was Re: Hard Drive Access.
Hi, Mounting it is the least of my worries. I have three drive bays inside this 1997 G3. I'll just use some double sided tape to hold it in place. Thank you Cara for the information.

Re: IBook Adapter was Re: Hard Drive Access.
Alex, I don't know about an adapter, but you can definitely get a firewire enclosure for your MB drive. I have one and it works wonderfully!… Of course I'm not mounting it inside something else, but the enclosure is great!… You can Google this, and I'll post the brand I have. (will need to ask my roomie to look at it. -apologies…) Talk with you soon!… Smiles, Cara :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On Mar 31, 2009, at 11:15 PM, Alex Jurgensen wrote: Hi, All, I need to upgrade the disk in my Macbook possibly and i need to know what i can do with my old one.

IBook Adapter was Re: Hard Drive Access.
Hi, All, I need to upgrade the disk in my Macbook possibly and i need to know what i can do with my old one. I am debating putting it in my Mum's IBook that runs Leopard. This will only work if there is a small ata to sata converter. Does anyone know if this possible? Secondly, can I get a FW enclosure for a Macbook drive? That way I can mount it inside my G3 using the internal FW port.
