Your system has a Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6) drive interface. You’ll need a 2.5” drive, I’m not that knowledgable on this SSD drive.

Here’s the guide to replacing it: iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz Hard Drive Replacement
It probably uses an IDE drive, and has a max thickness of 9.5mm. You could get a SATA SSD and a SATA-IDE converter.
UPDATE: It’s a PATA drive. Here’s a Newegg link for SSD’s: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi...
Good luck!

I know you are new here, if you would, when you throw possible solutions in that were not asked for (such as using an SATA drive in this machine), please do the work and give links as to how this is possible. While I have done this in an MDD 3" drive, I had the room to put an adapter on. On this machine there is no room to put an adapter on.
Thanks, man. Yeah I'm new here, ish.
