2300c is capable of more than the 280c. anyone know drawbacks to the 2300??
otherwise yes to all of your other questions. you will need an
extension called Serial Port Arbitrator (system software). the
floppy is good to have, but if you need to install off of CD then a
dock of some sort would be good. i don't know if you've ever
installed sojmething off of 50 diskettes. any mac monitor and
keyboard/mouse will work, and others will work with adaptors, though
not alwat=ys as well as the apples. bob
