I have a PowerBook 550 (rev B), with the combo drive, but I would like to upgrade it to a superdrive... is this even possible?

if so who, what, when, where and how???

thanks

MCE Tech will do it.

Here you go.

Good luck.

Would the 550's combo drive fit in a Ti400?

Why don't you call MCE? Ask for Kevin or Duke and they'll tell you.

If not, then buy their Lucid Drive because it's REALLY nice. It's done in a clear acrylic-over-metal theme and it matches the Titaniums perfectly. It's about as thick as the Powerbook (closed) and not very big. We have it and use it for disk-to-disk copying.

Couldn't recommend it more.

Good luck.

MCE will probably be really expensive.
