Re: hard drive upgrades
AFAIK any 2.5inch drive will work, but these tend to be much more expensive than the 3.5inch ones used in desktops. But I'm sure someone on the list will know of a source for bargains...

Re: hard drive upgrades
I have the same case with a 20G Travelstar. Finally purchased a power supply from Radio Shack so the drive would quit spinning down when it should be running. Also, with external power it can be used to boot my TiBook. Also should have kept the Newer Firewire2Go card so the drive and digital camcorder could be used at the same time. Just got a 40G IBM Travelstar from newegg along with a USB 1.1/FW 2.5 enclosure from computergeeks.com for around 200 total (150 HD, 50 case). The case description mentions that it needs a PS/2 - power adapter when using FW, but I figured they were thinking PC notebooks which typically have the 4-pin no-power carrying FW port not the 6-pin power carrying port that apples have and turns out I guessed right, the case does work as self powered when used with my TiBook. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: hard drive upgrades
At one point back in January, about a week after I bought my 48 GB IBM Travelstar, Dell.com had the 60GB ones for sale at around the same price that I paid for 48 Gigs. It was the the same IBM Travelstar brand, just larger. Of course, they want you to buy a Dell computer, but you're better off without that part. I'll dig around to try to find the URL (I don't think it was in an obvious part of their site), but I'm busy this week and probably won't be able to get around to it. -- John Koen cellist, The Philadelphia Orchestra [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.johnfkoen.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

stuck pixel repair for Wallstreet 300?
