Hacks and success on this list

Hi All!

Thanks so far to Jack at the Comet ICU website!  He has been great help so
far in providing info on blown fuses and their part numbers!

I have a number of things that I want to try out on the 2400 I have, and
just want to see what success people have had on this list (and what
pitfalls to avoid).  As I have stated before, I live in Perth Australia, so
there is no chance I can send the PB off to the US for repair (I would be
able to put a serious dent in the money required to buy a new 12" G4 PB if I
did!).  As the 2400 was never released in Australia, I figure I must be on
of a handful of people that own one here!

Anyway, here is a list of what I need to do:

1) Replace the internal 1.3gig drive with a 4gig Toshiba drive pulled from a
333Mhz Lombard.

2) Give it Cardbus compatibility.  This model is the one that has the yellow
jumper wire close to the SO-DIMM slot.

3) Fix the mouse clicker, as it is bugging me like there is no tomorrow!

4) Replace the 5amp fuse on the I/O, next to the battery terminals.


Any thoughts or pointers?  I was hoping to do the whole lot while the 2400
was apart (except maybe the cardbus hack until I know it is working).

Thanks in advance!

Rod!
