Yes, the 500 and 5300 TPs should be swappable (same PCB part number, chips and connector.) Haven't done it myself though, at least not that I can recall. :-) The 2300, 190, 3400, Kanga and Wallstreet pads should all be interchangable (exactly the same-shape PCB and same connector.) I've used 3400 TPs in 2300 and 190 TPs in 3400. The 2300's pad is the only one that's _not_ 'tappable'. Wallstreet's TP is nearly identical, but its PCB's model number is TM1002 vs. model TM1001 on the earlier TP (with one chip having a similar PN difference.) I've not used a WS TP in other 'Books so I can't say for sure if it'd work or not, though I bet it would. hth, Dan K ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
