I have a PDF instructions on how to install one. E-mail me at spsam@mac.com and I'll send it to you. I did this upgrade on my iBook 500/cd and I'm very happy with it. Works flawlessly...

My friend is putting a combo drive in his iBook. I sold my personal DVD drive to x user so he can tell you about the level of difficulty. I also have an additional Combo drive available. It's a Sony CRX800E 8x8x8x24 combo drive which comes standard on 14.1 inch iBook models. I am selilng this drive for $220 shipped via PayPal. Note that you will need to find a bezel for the Sony.

Drool, I like that Combo... but darn, the coffers are dry.

I'd say the level of difficulty on this mod is about a 5 in a scale of 1-10. The hardest part imho is splitting the case without damaging or scuffing it. And of course having the right screwdrivers and allen wrenches always helps.
