[Duo2400] 2400c hard disk limitation?

[Ralph Mawyer]

The 2400 can use any of the 9.5-12.5mm drives available.  It's usually 
a good idea to be sure you are getting good contact with the heat sink 
when installing hte 9.5mm drives, since they are smaller than the OEM 
design.

A number of folks are running 30-40GB and the largest 80GB will work.  
One of the easy ways to check is to see what MCE is selling, since they 
certify the drives for each PowerBook.  While the 2400 isn't being 
upgraded as much by them, they still include it in their compatibility 
charts.

Hope that helps...
