Multicoloured Clamshell iBook
- Details
- Parent Category: FAQ
Since most components of the Clamshell iBook series are compatible, it is possible to compose a multicolored iBook - the screen from a Blueberry the trackpad from a Tangerine, the DVD drive from a Keylime, keyboard from a Graphite and the bottom case from an Indigo .
I put some photos into my Flickr account.
If you want to place a 366MHZ and 466MHZ (second edition) logicboard in a blueberry or tangerine bottom case you have to drill a hole for the firewire port if you want to make use of it.
If you don't want to harm the case, let the firewire port remain covered.
My iBook Clamshell Gemini
- Details
- Parent Category: FAQ
The Gemini is based on a G3 Clamshell iBook (300/366/466MHZ) - it has a integrated touchscreen and was built to support disabled people. The Gemini iBook was the second Mac modded by Assistive Technology Inc., the first one was called Freestyle and featured a PowerPC 603e Processor. I bought my 366Mhz Indigo Gemini in 2009 and carefully upgraded it with a DVD Drive and 120GB HD.
The Gemini has no internal keyboard, there are a couple a new internal wires, so the upgrade process was very delicate.

- Parent Category: FAQ
The Clamshell iBook, has - in contrast to the black PowerBook and more recent iBook,PowerBook and MacBook models no lumininiscent apple logo on the top case. When you take a look at the iBook when the display is on in a dark room, you will see that the surrounding of the apple is gently glowing. Roll up your sleeves - we can do better than that. After the Luminiscent Apple Mod you will get a lovely light-show for your Clamshell iBook - as to be seen in the picture above.
