I know full well this means I don't have the answer to your question yoyoman, but I gotta ask.

What's a Sony 710?

Short form-factor drive fits well in smaller footprint PC cases
This makes me think no.

Maybe take a peek at http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ for some other possibilities.

that drive alone is about twice as thick as a powerbook, not to mention being tray-loading and not slot-loading. So, no, it won't fit in your powerbook.

No way in heck that's gunna fit.

IIRC there are some EIDE (ATAPI) cases you can put it into, and hook it up to your laptop via USB.

ClubMac I think used to sell them (among other places).
I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?
