Re: iBook 300 mhz - HD upgrade?
The iBook will take any drive that's 9.5mm height (or less). Installation is a bear, but the upgrade is definitely rewarding, especially for those who started out with the original 3.2gig HDD that came in the early iBooks.

Not sure about the specific specs for the iBook regarding the height of a hard drive, but I think I saw a new drive from IBM that has 60 GB of storage, if you're not too concerned about money. If you are, then there are 20 GB for less than $100 and $30 for a little bit more than $100. I personally have a 20 GB in my Pismo and I still have plenty of storage. Of course, I'm not editing any digital video on it and I'm not even ripping off any of my CD... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:laurent.daudelin;verizon.net firebottle n.obs.: A large, primitive, power-hungry active electrical device, similar in function to a FET but constructed out of glass, metal, and vacuum.

Besides the RAM [did that already] what can be upgraded? What peripherals for backup are suggested? I needed something for copying small files. Then I'll transfer those files to a CD-R later. I just purchased a Keyspan 4-port USB mini-hub. Sound? etc. Has anyone ever used a hard cover briefcase to tote their iBook? I want to get a small UPS for traveling. I have one on the rest of my computers and wouldn't chance it without one for my iBook. I've always wanted a laptop because I write and needed something portable. So this is my first laptop.
