If you take that route, bear in mind that the PowerBook 150 and 190 use IDE drives. The largest SCSI drives can be found in the 500 series. Rumour has it that late PowerBook 500 series models were shipped with IDE drives and SCSI-IDE converters. That would be the 500 MB models, then; I have a rather late 320 MB model that came with a native SCSI HD. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
