I guess that's what I'll have to do. My screwdriver is a phillips and is marked 00 on the side. It works great for the little screws in my Pismo. I remember having trouble with screws in the first dual USB iBooks, but I think my same screwdriver worked for them as well. People on one discussion list at the time said it was some Taiwanese standard of screws. I guess there are different kinds of 00. The performance of my new PB doesn't impress me, so I'm hoping the extra 512 of ram will help.
