Jeff - sorry, my mistake.  As I wrote, it was from memory (which must 
be failing!) rather than a definitive statement.  To set the record 
straight (I should have done this before):

The Apple KB (Article ID: 88058) states:

4. Using either a Phillips screwdriver (size 1), or Torx screwdriver 
(T-8) depending on the type of screws on your PowerBook, remove the 
screws that secure the bottom case of the PowerBook.
