Hi, as you know, I own a Powerbook G3 lombard.

Here is something stated on a website I went to:

"According to the Road Warrior, the drive controller in G3 PowerBooks is incompatible with some ATA-6 hard drives. When replacing the internal hard drive, you should be sure to obtain an ATA-5 compliant drive or an ATA-6 or ATA-7 drive known to work with Lombard."
  1. What does this mean?
  2. Which type of hard drive should i get?
  3. Is there anything out on the market now that is suitable for my Powerbook?

Thanks, Pat
