Hello all and thanks in advance for any tips/advice.
As a project in my retirement, I'm going to resuscitate
my original iBook.
Can any old 2.5 mm drive do?
ATA or IDE?
Is one brand better than another?
How much of an issue is disc speed?

My son's clamshell iBook has developed the annoying
problem of (occasionally) not being able to wake from
sleep.
It is an intermittent problem, probably occurring
about 1/3 to 1/2 the time. He puts the iBook to sleep
(either by using the menu command or just closing the
lid) and it fails to wake

It pays to check and make sure the necessary

I just bought an Airport card for my son's tangerine
iBook. When I try to run the Airport software it say
that an Airport card is not installed.
I know the Airport card is good because I swapped it
out with the one in our graphite iBook and the new
card works fine. I'm using it to post this
I strongly disagree.
IMO, it's a problem with the cache memory on the
Powerlogix CPU card. I've seen this personally on my
iForce card from them on my iMac, and there was a
thread in 2002-2003 on MacInTouch about cache problems
with their upgrade cards (the BlueChip model) - and

I don't even remeber HOW LONG it took to install OS X
