Re: Hard Drive Replacement
Bob: Just replaced the 10GB drive in a iBook 500MHz with a 40GB 5400rpm TravelStar yesterday when I upgraded it to 10.4. I first replaced a Pismo stock drive with a Hitachi 30GB years ago... and was AMAZED at how much faster my Pismo was running 9.2.2 than it was with the old drive. If Apple still cripples their computers with drives that are really too slow compared to the rest of the system, a faster drive can make a huge difference in overall system performance. There are places you can see system comparisons like barefeats.com, etc. to get some idea on what the impact will be. Unfortunately, a small percentage increase in the benchmark can translate to no appreciable difference or to a huge perceived impact in performance in the Finder... which can make it hard to discern whether that 7200rpm drive is worth the investment over that 5400rpm drive. In my personal experience, I would always go with a minimum of a 5400rpm drive. Typically, even though these drives are faster... they are also newer and more efficient designs than the stock drive in that older computer... and thus may actually pull less juice and/or generate less heat than your stock drive even though they are bigger and faster. You have to actually compare the specs of the drive to really get a sense of this. I know that all of the drives that I've replaced, while being bigger and faster, actually run cooler, quieter and draw either the same or less power than the older, slower drive they were replacing. I personally prefer the Hitachi/Travelstar drives. Don't like the Toshibas or Fujitsus although this is just a personal preference and not something I can back up with hard facts to support. If you want to get the best price for whatever brand/size drive you purchase, I would recommend considering ZipZoomFly.com. When you are ordering a commodity like this, no sense in paying a premium. As far as taking apart the iBook, I can concur that it is the hardest machine to take apart that Apple has made that I've had to take apart and I agree that separating that damn plastic case is the biggest pain. I have a set of screw drivers from Sears as well as a small hex key set (the iBooks require a hex key for the first three screws you remove on the bottom... the rest are Torx and Philips). The first time you do it you think you are going to break the case... but you don't and each successive time is easier. My advice would be to get the official Apple service manual and just take your time following everything step by step. You can locate the official Apple service manuals online (although technically they are only supposed to be available to authorized service providers) if you search for them or if you have a friend who happens to have the pdf and is willing to share it to you ;) Good luck! ...

Can a reasonably handy person (rebuilt the carburetor for my 1965 Mustang once) replace the HD in this model iBook? 2. Can anyone recommend a HD? I went to http://www.pbparts.com/shop/ and found an 80 GB Hard Drive (Toshiba 5400RPM): This Toshiba 80GB 5400RPM drive has a huge 16MB buffer, improved noise reduction, and low power consumption. Here is a link to specs for the 8026GAX. This drive has a three year warranty from Toshiba Note: This drive is compatible with all G3 and G4 laptops. 8026GAX. At the same site, also found: This is a Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 60GB 7200RPM 2.5in ATA-6 Mobile Hard Drive w/8MB Buffer. Here is the spec PDF for the Hitachi Travelstar 7K60. This drive is equiped with a large 8MB Data Buffer and a 7200 RPM Spindle Speed for increased performance. Note: This drive is compatible with all G3 and G4 laptops. Would I see a noticeable difference in the 7200 vice the 5400 RPM drive? This thing is already running very slow when compared to my G5 iMac. The iBook now has an IBM-DJSA-210 HD, according to System Profiler, and when I looked it up online, I found that it runs at 4200RPM. So, 5400 would be an improvement; 7200 would be a vast improvement, no?? Suggestions gratefully accepted and many thanks. bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

On OS X, this is now a thing of the past but under Classic, you must specify the maximum amount of memory an application will have.

An adhesive-backed label designed to be attached to a key on a keyboard to indicate some non-standard character which can be accessed through that key. Pasties are likely to be used in APL environments, where almost every key is associated with a special character. A pastie on the R key, for example, might remind the user that it is used to generate the rho character. The term properly refers to nipple-concealing devices formerly worn by strippers in concession to indecent-exposure laws; compare tits on a keyboard. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
