Is possible to upgrade my clamshell Blueberry's HD to this 40Gb model?

History

Since I'm leaving at Germany and iFixit is currently not selling hard drives for iBook clamshell, I found two another options:

http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/41100...-40GB-IDE-25-MHW2040AT/SHOP_AREA_20564&promotionareaS...

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...

But are any of these HDs compatible with my clamshell?

Actually I have no clue about it. Mactracker says that my clamshell uses ATA-2 HDs, and I saw many Ultra ATA HDs. Are they compatible too?

Also I don't understand how ATA-2 is related (or not) to ATA100.

I'm a complete dummy about this, and will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Vielen Dank Markus, These two other websites +/- pointed me in the right direction: http://www.yourdictionary.com/computer/i... http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pc-hardware-faq/enhanced-IDE/part1/ (see item 4.5) But you confirmed this with different sources. Great! PS: The weather at Bremen is also nice.

The clamshell uses ata2 hd's (source: everymac.com)

conrad is great - i'm almost every week at the store in nuremberg ;-)

ultra ata is only a different name for ata2 (source: wikipedia.org)

have fun in good old germany (btw - the weather is great at the moment ;-) )
