[P1] Clamshell HDD

[David George Hogg]

Sweet. I have the original blueberry clamshell so will definitely be
getting one of those 512mb sticks into the ibook and I will wait and see
about HDD space. Does anyone know where to get a manual / instructions
for installing the HDD.
David.

Hi David,

I'm pretty sure it has to be a 9.5mm tall hard drive. Some laptop hard
drives are 12mm tall and these will not fit.
If I were you I would go for the largest hard drive I could afford, as
even
20Gb can fill up pretty quick once you own those 20Gb.

The 320Mb limit can be upgraded by upgrading the firmware which makes
the
iBook recognise more than 256Mb in the memory bay thing. Apple has this
available as a free download from their website and its only a couple of
megabytes to download, then you're all set for juicy 512Mb module
goodness.
The very first clamshell iBooks (i.e. The 300MHz Tangerine and Blueberry
1999 models) can also have the 512Mb module installed.
