I can confirm, you need not to remove the processor card. Remove the heat shield, lay down an antistatic foil on the processor card, carefully lift up the drive cage on the left side. Disconnect the drive on the right side of cage, remove the 4 screws holding the drive.

My Pismo had an old 12GB drive, changed it to an IDE SSD drive (KingSpec 64GB). Now I have 3 partions: MacOSX 10.2, MacOSX10.4.11 and MacOS9.2.2. It works very well without any problems!

Remember: must be Apple partions, not GUID!
