It seems you have a dock that is either switchable, or you have a dedicated SCSI dock adapter, not a regular powerbook SCSI adapter. The switchable adapter, when in dock mode, turns your powerbook into just a disk drive, with a icon marching on the screen to tell you what the SCSI ID is,

Just about any newer drive than the 750MB you're replacing has different mounting holes. The 1400 has an aluminum bracket that holds the hard drive, and you have to drill two new holes in the bracket. It's easy if you take the time to carefully mark where they go on the bracket, and probably
