Hey Rob:
I have a 230. Its a pretty fast and powerful machine; too bad it's not color
though cause then I could run great low end games like Marathon,
Skyfighters, Doom, etc. However, when a grayscale Duo is in a Dock it
suddenly supports 256 colors. So it must have enough VRAM to support a
color Duo screen. I've seen them for around $100. Ask around though. I feel
your pain.
