Speaking of playing DVD's, can you put a DVD or Combo drive in a clamshell iBook? Looking at maybe getting a tangerine iBook, but would like to have DVD playing ability, or even better the Combo drive. Thanks! JR -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

I believe, you can't. The iBook don't have a DVD Decoding card, so if you add a DVD Drive, it will NOT play the movies (for DVD Playback without DVD Decoders, you need a G3 500mhz or faster). Also, the Fastest Clamshell iBook was the 466mhz (the Grey one), but it has a DVD Drive so you should

820-0915-A (i think) That is a production part number of the printed circuit board. The ser# is visible inside the PC card slot door. To get to the lower RAM slot, you have to pull the processor board, just as on the others of the series. Just remove the heat sink and it is visible.

Okay, the last message send out about moving files all around and re-installing X is a convoluted way of doing an archive install. Despite its name, there is no archiving. I'm getting ahead of myself. I recently had a similar problem where I got the ? of death and it wouldn't even boot to a CD

It's the same thing. I made my own way, because I had a small HD on my PowerMac and I needed more space to make an install. So removing the System files, the Disc will have more space to make a new install. --- Dylan Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, the last message send out about moving
