Hello,

I have a Powerbook 1400c/133 and the CD ROM is no longer reading disks. ?I have read several entries on this site about instructions and slim drive compatability but all the outside links are dead (a user named dankephoto seemed to host this info). ?Any idea where I can get some detailed instructions on swapping out the drive mechanism with a working ATAPI slim module? ?Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

PS: I already have a HDI-30 to SCSI cable and a few working Apple 300 and 600 drive but that just is not as cool as having an internal drive that works.
