Rod, back when MCE first started upgrading hard drives in the 2400 
they and other folks found the Toshiba to be problematic.  I can't 
provide much guidance on model #s, etc., but it was at the time when 
4GB was the normal upgrade.  Given that even you can probably buy a 
20GB drive down under for $75US, you might consider just putting a 
new big one in there...particularly given how deep into the 2400 you 
are going to have to go to do this. ;-)  You really only want to do 
it once....

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

The Japanese sites referenced on mac2400 have the detail. Match your 
board to the photos, cross your fingers, and cut.

Info and a link for this is on mac2400:Hardware:Peripherals:Input/Clicker

Any takers on this.  I believe it's soldered in.
