Description
Following along with how [mac27](https://www.mac27.net/powerbook-g3-wallstreet) did it, and how I've done other IDE to SSD replacements (notably in the PowerBook 3400c), I've ordered the following parts to replace the hard drive with an SSD:
- [chenyang mSATA Mini SATA SSD to IDE 44Pin 2.5 inch Hard Disk Adapter](https://amzn.to/46GdOrb)
- [Transcend 64GB MSA230S mSATA SATA III SSD, DRAM Cache](https://amzn.to/4ylGYHN) (wow, $50 now... last time I ordered one it was 128GB for $20!)
