Yes, this is possible, using a 12.7mm optical drive hard drive adapter, but it must be IDE. iFixit no longer sells the part, and it may be hard to find on Amazon today.

However, any hard drive installed will be bottlenecked and cannot be avoided. This is a limitation of the IDE bus being capped out at 100/133MB/s, depending on if it’s IDE or EIDE. Buy a cheap drive or live with this bottleneck, but it won’t hurt anything.

As far as a guide is concerned, I don't know which CPU you have so I can’t find one. You will need to find the guide on your own, unless you can provide the CPU speed for your machine.

I do have one warning: ANY hard drive you install will be bottlenecked by the IDE bus of this computer. Do not expect to get full performance out of the hard drive, even with a high end drive.

Yes, this is very possible in your laptop. Alll you need is a 9.5mm IDE to SATA DVD drive bay, and you would install it in place of the DVD drive.

For this model,it has to be 9.5mm. Anything taller won't fit, and anything less will be a pain to install. If you do it right, you can have a dual drive [http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-Optical-Adapter/dp/B005L91ZL8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1388895012&sr=8-4&keywords=notebook+IDE+to+SATA+DVD+bay|Powerbook]. The only thing would be you'd bottleneck this drive hard. It would work at ATA speeds and will never run at SATA speeds.

You would need a notebook adapter that uses IDE to connect to the Powerbook and uses SATA on the bay, and is 9.5mm
If all of that is good, you can do it in your Powerbook 12"
