Replaceing the drice itself is a piece of cake, just take out i two screws
on the bottom remove keyboard, then remove the screws holding the drive
innplace. Disconnect the cable and startthe process in reverve to install
the new one. May take 10 min tops. Installing software on the new drive is
the biggest pain, and the most time comsuing. You'll have to boot from disk
till you get a system forlder installed, Zips are not bootable i think. You
can boot from floppy, then drag your old system folder that you back-up up
on zip and drag it onto the new hard drive.
You will have to rebless this "new"/old system folder but that is not hard
at all.
As for the adapters I don't know about them

> I'm considering upgrading my HD from 1.1 GB to either 6.4 GB (9.5 mm) or
> 12.5 mm (12.5 mm). I'll probably buy from The Powerbook Guy since he

> � Anyone know about on-line instructions for removing and replacing the HD?
>
> � Will either height (9.5 mm or 12 mm) fit OK?
>
> � The HD page at The Powerbook Guy indicates that an adapter is required
> for 2 GB and greater drives. (It's not clear if it's a separate buy or
> comes with the drive.) Anyone experienced with the use of this adapter?
>
> � Any special "challenges" accomplishing this job?
>
> � What's the preferred method of transferring the OS (I'm running 8.1),
> extensions, preferences and all the other files from one drive to the
> other? I'm backed on 100 MB zip disks and also have a dock with an
> internal 750 MB HD.
>
> I'd appreciate any help/suggestions on any of these issues.
