Any flash drive should work and fit your clamshell iBook. Most, if not all, come with an extender cable. I have 2 - 128MB flash drives from Tamarack (Pen Drives) and I have to use the cable.

A while ago I bought one of Dr Bott's clever little T3Hub USB hubs <http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=3105-T3IB> for use with a clamshell iBook (which has only one USB port), but was dismayed (and rather annoyed) to find that it didn't fit. The iBook's USB port is recessed about a half inch into the case, and the casing of the T3Hub stops it from inserting far enough to make contact. I eventually used a razor blade to shave off the corners of the T3Hub's casing so it could be inserted in the iBook, an ugly if finally effective solution.
Now I want to get a USB flash drive to use with, among others, clamshell iBooks, but am concerned that I might encounter the same problem. Has anyone used a USB flash drive with a clamshell iBook, and run into this difficulty -- or not? What brand works, or doesn't?
