Hi guys

Very brief yes or no question.

Is the PB140 HDD 3.5" SCSI? If so, can you transplant in a 160MB LC575 SCSI HDD?

This is probably a terrible question but your help and suggestions would be suggested.

Cheers

No.  Laptop and desktop drives are physically different sizes.

I had a couple of Powerbook 145 or 150s that I dismantled.   The hard drive in them was about the size of a deck of cards.  I don't think it was a 3.5" drive.   It seemed too small to be 3.5".

There's no way that the platter in a Powerbook hard drive is the same size as the platter in the hard drive of a desktop Macintosh.   So are they both 3.5" drives?   Well, if 3.5" means 3.5 inches, the answer is no.

Just Googled it...  The hard drives in PowerBooks are 2.5".
