Hello,

I am purchasing an iBook (Dual USB, 500 or 600 Mhz)and i want to upgrade the hard drive in it. I currently have a 60GB Seagate Momentus 5400 ST96812 notebook hard drive that was previously used in an eMachines laptop. Are third party drives compatible in an iBook G3? If so, would this particular drive work?

Also, i want to upgrade the CD-only drive to a "Combo Drive" or "Super Drive" equivilent. Any good suggestions for a replacement? Is there a guide to replacing
the hard drive or the CD Drive in the iBook G3?

Thanks,
Gil
