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. Thanks, Alex, On 1-Apr-09, at 12:56 AM, Cara Quinn wrote: Alex, I don't know about an adapter, but you

Why do you want to use fw instead of the ide in the g3? Could you not get a kit to mount a 2.5 drive in a 3.5 bay? On 01/04/2009, Alex Jurgensen asquare...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Mounting it is the least of my worries. I have three drive bays inside this 1997 G3. I'll just use some double

Re: Hard Drive Access.
