[iBook] replacement drive for dual usb ibook 500

[Alex Santos 100MB Neostrada Mail]

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I am in Poland and there are LG brand drives 
around for sale, in fact I think they are plentiful at least I know the 
LG Brand is quite popular here.

After you installed yours, were able to successfully able to reattach 
the silver plastic cover from the previous drive? This is rather 
important to me as I don't want the drive to stick out like a sore 
thumb.

Thanks again

Alex
