Re: Replacing HD

>Is it possible to replace the hard drive in a PowerBook 520? It is a SCSI 2.5" HD, so your choices will be very limited. Forget the awful 20 and 40 MB Conner drives. The Quantum 80 and 160 MB drives are OK, but they are only marginally better than the Conners. The best are probably IBMs, in
