Check out the oft-mentioned xlr8yourmac Database under Drive Compatibility, then your model of iBook and Combo (drive type). IIRC the iBooks used a Toshiba drive, so may be best to look for one of those. Though it wasn't the original model (as it's newer and faster), the SD-R2512 comes to mind, as I've seen it on ebay in Europe for approx. 50-60 Euro new, on ebay in the US I think it's around $75 from legit sellers. Check xlr8yourmac for this and other Toshiba models, and don't forget to see how they did with swapping the Bezel from the original drive onto the new one. Good luck.
