[DuoList] Which hard drive for a PowerBook 2400

[Brandy]

You need to make sure the Drive is ATA 2,3,4,5,6 compatible.  That will 
cover all your bases.
Check with http://stores.ebay.com/www-krex-com
They have Drives that will work.  On the other hand if the ATA 6 does not 
work put it in a USB mini case and use it as a spare.I have found that some 
newer drives load just fine under USB but will not load as internals.
