Hi gang, I am selling my backup Powerbook 2400c. I gave it to my daughter at college a year ago when her Duo 2300 went missing from a locked university office. She was then paranoid about letting the 2400 out of her sight and losing important work so now she's writing here thesis on a less portable iMac and the 2400c has seen little use - and frankly I'm a little embarrAssed about having two. The machine has always performed flawlessly has a beautiful bright screen no visible bad pixels. I'd like $1400 plus shipping for the whole package, but of course will entertain serious counter offers either way. I'd rather sell it to someone on the list where it will get a good home than give it up to the ravages of e-bay. If I'm off base I'm sure you guys will let me know. Remember to please respond off list. Powerbook Comet 2400c, 4.4 lbs, Serial #157441M4AJN with NewerTech G3 240Mhz card with a full 1MB backside cache, standard 1MB vram, maximum affordable physical Ram at 80M (for $330 you can boost this to 96MB), running System 8.6. A fast and quiet Toshiba 6GB internal drive installed from Apple. Standard floppy drive and floppy cable, video out cable. Compact 36W power supply has had the ground wire repaired where it enters the adapter, but works great and doesn't look that bad either. Perfect fit Wetsuit No.2 carrying case. One decent battery The cardbus hasn't been "enabled" to 24-bit, but unless you are running firewire cards or RoadRocket video card, you really don't need it activitated. I've heard that the MacAlly USB card works fine in an unmodified 2400. Mucho software should of course be removed after evaluation if you don't have the liscence. Claris Works 5, Micropsoft Office 98, Mavis Beacon 5, Complete Oxford Dictionary, Grammarian, Spell checker. Photoshop 5.5, Acrobat 4.0, FilemakerPro 4.0, old Digidesign software Protools 4.1.1. Conflict Catcher and a few other nice OS bells and whistles. Free space on Hard Drive still 4.6 GB. An external Portable Panasonic 8x CD-ROM (Model KXL-783A) and power supply. Not the greatest for CD games, but the important thing is that it has Apple ROMs, so it's bootable for emergency CD startups and software installs. I'll include the correct expensive SCSI cable, (HDI30 to SCSI-2) needed for Jaz drives & assorted CD burners. It also works on and PCs with a PCMCIA card which is included. Best of all it is also great portable audio CD player that can play from its own mini speakers or piped to powered externals. A Dayna 10base-T Ethernet PCMCIA Communicard, software discs and cable. My daughter's college is wired for ethernet access, so I didn't have get her a PCMCIA modem card. External (of course) Zip drive , power supply, SCSI cable with HDI SCSI/Dock adapter. I also would like to throw in a Focus Technologies TV View PCMCIA Preso Card to display your monitor images on an external TV screen Includes software, manuals, special video cables, PCMCIA dongle cable and original packaging. Great for serious presentations - not to mention the MacHead couch potato's version of web TV. Here's the one small caveat. One of the two small clips that hold the cable to the card is missing, but works wonderfully and is fairly secure with one if you don't trip over the wire. I have a copy of the original startup CD for the 2400c, but it is something of a relic. It boots up the machine fine from the CD drive, but (and this is a big but) it contains System 8.0 and the old plain HFS file system, so you won't be able to "see' any drive formatted with HFS+ (introduced with System 8.1). You could use this disk in a dire emergency and resore all the original software and system on a reinitialized disk which would be the old Apple file system - not recommended. So, I'm including a System 8.6 install disk and and Apple Care OS9 emergency disk, which will allow you to run Disk First aid, if necessary. So it has all the concievable add-ons except a modem card which are not rare and if you really need one I'll help you find a reasonabbly priced one.
