Howdy,

I'm going to be doing a case mod to my G3 iBook, but before I can, I need to get the plastic case off. It looks like it needs a hex bit (my vision sucks). Is this right? Also, does anyone know what size bits I'll need (there's two -- the screws on the lid are smaller than the screws on the bottom)?

Thanks!
-Nitz

Those are Torx screws. I'm not sure how the sizing system works, but the screws on the iBook are relatively small.
