Re: Anybody using a Hitachi HDD?

I have pulled a couple drives out of a IBM TP600 and put them in my 3400, no issues. Remove the IBM mounting tray and mount the drive in the 3400, no issues at all. Only thing to look for is some drives draw more or less power. So a new drive may suck down the batteries more than another drive

Re: PC IDE drive in a 5300

I put a 3GB IBM Travelstar from my Pentium 233 IBM Stinkpad 600 into my PB3400 with no issues. Formatted with Drive Setup and away I go! Use the latest Drive Setup for your OS and see if that helps. Thomas Martin -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog
