I've ordered a new 17" PowerBook and am anxiously awaiting shipment day, however far away it is. However, I'm pretty sure that I don't really need the superdrive and would like to remove it and sell it.
Does anybody know if the older PowerBooks can use the new superdrives? Of course, I'm not even sure that the 17" uses the same size or type of superdrive as the 15.2" Powerbooks.
Has anybody heard of anyone who's tried surgery like this? For example, putting a 1 GHz 15.2" Tibook's superdrive in a 800 MHz 15.2" Tibook?
Any information about this in specific or in general would be helpful, since I'm pretty much clueless about it. I just think I don't need it and am looking for ways to cut down on the total cost. Also, anybody know if switching out drives voids the warranty on the whole computer? Seems like you should be able to swap out a harddrive, at least, without losing the warranty on the rest of the computer.
Thanks.
