>What kind of HD is used in a 100? and what is the biggest? Short answer, SCSI only, biggest, well not very big. they are 2.5" SCSI, there's not enough room for an IDE to SCSI adapter in that 'book so you can't use an IDE laptopdrive with a SCSI adapter on it (as you can in some machines).
Realistically the best you might find is an older IBM 540; the blurb below mentions 1 gb but I think that's referring to powerbook drives in general of the time of the FAQ; Ive not heard of anything that big in 2.5" SCSI, and am not sure it was ever made. They quit making tiny SCSI 2.5" a long time ago as far as I've ever heard. The blurb from the PB100 FAQ, located at <http://www.ouh.nl/open/psl/pb100/> is below. About your speaking control panel- which OS did you pull it from, check the system requirements for it, and which OS you have on your 100. A lot of things won't work on a 100, that's a vanilla 68000 CPU. I have 7.5.5 on my pb100, a pretty stripped down 7.5.5 due to RAM limits, I don't recall ever trying the voices out on that platform. HTH. --------------------- Q: How can I increase the size of my PB100's hard disk? A: In the short term, one of the data compression programs will increase the apparent capacity of a hard drive by up to 100%, so a 20 Mb drive looks like a 30 - 40 Mb one, albeit with a small loss in speed due to the need for data compression and decompression. However, especially if you want to use more recent versions of applications packages, you may well need to increase the real disk size. Various retailers supply HDs for such a purpose, in capacities up to over 1 GB. However, some drives that will fit most Powerbooks will not fit the PB100. The reason is that most earlier Powerbooks used 2.5" SCSI drives. These are now quite rare, with the result that they are commonly replaced by IDE drives, together with a SCSI-IDE adapter. In the PB100, the extra size of the adapter means that they won't fit. So specify when ordering that the drive must fit in a PB100. Note that the mounting brackets for the Apple 20 Mb differ from the brackets for the Apple 40 Mb and probably all other hard disks that fit. So if you are about to replace the original Apple 20 Mb disk, you need to somehow lay your hands on the correct mounting brackets.
