Thanks for the direction Eric and Tee.
The reason I picked up the case was I thought I could 'cheat' and not have
to install the hd into the iBook! Staples had the case on sale with a rebate
a few weeks back.
I bought the drive full knowing it was a laptop drive and Tee was kind
enough to print out instructions, but once looked at realized it can be
tricky.
Oh well, maybe a project this summer or get the adapter.
BTW - see Mostly Digital has the new Mac Mini's for $949 with SuperDrive.
From what I see, it looks like you can hook it up directly to a (flat
screen) TV (with the right connections)?
