Hi Alan, I didn't see your original (sans the quoted section above), but the following will probably be of interest to you: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iBook-G4-12-Inch-800-MHz-1-2-GHz-Hard-Drive-Replacement/166/1 As for putting a SSD where an IDE currently lives, you will more than likely require an IDE-to-SATA converter unless you can find an IDE SSD! If you need the converter, you will probably run out of space :( Traditional "spinning platter" IDE drives are still readily available but are (in my experience) a little more expensive ($/MB) than their SATA cousins....that whole supply/demand thing sux. Good luck, James
