Hi, everybody. I just purchased my first mac, it a Powerbook G3 Lombard. I have already ordered Panther to upgrade from os 9.2.2. My questions is when I upgrade the hard drive do I need to get a paticular type. I already know it needs to be the small 2.5" or "slim" drive type. I have hear that IMB Travelstars are good in powerbooks.The powerbook came stock except for an extra 256mb of ram. AAlso the battery hold a charge for 2 hours. I got it on ebay for only $85. Let me know so I can order a larger drive.
