Apple's iBook Specs

Apple's iBook Specs

[Joseph Garcia]

According to Ogrady's Powerpage (http://ogrady.org), Apple has posted developer
tech notes on the iBook's hardware for the sake of hardware and software
developers.  This is quite unexpected i think.  Available in HTML and PDF.

	What is most interesting is that the AirPort is on the ATA bus that
the CDROM sits on.  Some neat 3rd party expansion options come to mind. :)

Not a big surprise. There are a lot of similarities between an ATA and a
16 bits PCCard bus. And I beleive they have a dbdma channel just behind
it, so basically, this stuff might work a lot like a good old ISA
ethernet chip ;)
