Whoo! Hoo! I like the news so far. To my many detractors a happy :-P I'm doing this as soon as I get my iBook. I will post pics of the operation. I have confidence I will succee…

You are all completely and utterly mad ! and I can't wait to see the results of your experiments.

I am watching all this with great admiration and extreem interest. My iBook is now trembling with fear as I consider some extensive home surgery. 400Mhz ...hmmmm nice! DVD ....oh…

Oh yeah.. i just thought of one other (hopefully minor) issue... will you be able to attach the blueberry/tangerine CD drive face plate (with eject button and emergency paper clip …

Apple publishes thorough documentation on assembly/disassembly of it's hardware. You must be a certified Apple Repair Technician to obtain them. They come in PDF format. If the DV…

If I am not mistake you should be able to play DVDs over 100baseT network from a dedicated server as the throughput of the DVD is not that great anyway. if I check my DVD players t…

The encryption of the DVD's probably requires the DVD to be local as you can't share the files over the network until they are decrypted i.e. it won't even show you the files to s…

Well, Apple went and upgraded the iBook. Still no DVD. I guess this means it's up to me :-) I am placing my order this week for the new speed bumped iBook. I already have an iMac…

Good luck, Marlond.....let us know how it turns out! (fingers crossed) Dammit PS - If it works, then who should I buy a DVDROM from?

When will this experiment take place? And if it works is there a way us commonfolk can get our hands on the edited DVD software? If not could someone post suggestions as to how to …

What your doing is great, keep it up! How do I overclock an ibook?

To overclock an iBook you need to change the jumper settings on the processor card (i think.) I haven't overclocked my machines yet, i hope to sometime though. However, be carefu…

I tried using a USB-SCSI convverter on my iBook and I got a DVD to mount. I tried using a hacked version of Apple's DVD Player 2.0f with no luck. Then I tried this beta DVD player…

Well, I have my iBook it arrived yesterday. A Tangerine 64MB-6GB-300mhz. I have already added the AirPort card. I plan to swap the internal CD-ROM drive for the one in my iMac DV.…

Maybe I can help on this topic. Let me clarify first though my expertise is on IBM clones, I've just recently came into the apple fray with my iBook SE. This project should be ha…

Lowered and loud civics? Gimme a break. Those cars suck. They look all badass with their 17" chrome wheels and racing sticker sponsors, but 99.9% of them are posers, or riceboys.…

i don't know what this has to do with ibook DVD, but Chrysler (parent company of dodge, plymouth) is making the PT cruiser, and it's under the Plymouth brand name

This all seems very cool. *BUT* if you do swap the drives or get one of the OEM dirves disscused earlier you might run into this problem: Notice that the iBooks CD-ROM cover is c…

It looks to me like you could just pop off the cover from the iBook CD-ROM and attach it to the DVD-ROM, shouldn't be too difficult. It might take a little creativity, but I doubt…

Well? any news? Did it work?

I opened up my iBook and it would be real easy to take out the CD and plug in a DVD in order to see if it works. I just don't have an IDE DVD drive to check it out with.

i've got an imac A, but u guyz over here seem much more enthusiastic about DVD possibilities, so i'll post this here. I see at linuxppc.org that ibooks have linux support. I have…
