what type of drives would you recommend, i'm on a ibook g3 700mhz. what brand/model...is it possible to swap the front of the drive to match the ibook? on which brands/models will the front of my ibook's combo drive fit?
Shorty, you want one that is also slot-loading, like the one you already have, such as the
one from MCE. This upgrade is *not* for the faint of heart, though. When you pull your current drive out, the "front" -- the white plastic on the outside -- will not come with it. It mounts essentially flush to this on the inside of the iBook. The combo drive you have should basically work in any G4 iBook or G3 iBook or G4 PB with a slot-loading drive, but there are very few of those that don't already have combo drives...so if you're looking to sell it, it will basically go as a spare part, and probably not très cher.
