This Duo 2300c has been my primary machine for the past two years,
used for word processing, Internet and email access (both via a modem
and via Ethernet), some low-level website creation, listening to MP3s,
calendaring and basically everything else. It has served me well on a
daily basis in Washington, Boston, the Middle East, the Caribbean and
a host of other locations. I consider it a fully capable machine for a
wide range of purposes, but I recently moved to a 400 mHz PowerBook
Bronze and would like to find the Duo an appreciative home. I hope
that this listserv will be the place to find a new owner for it, and
deeply appreciate the assistance and insight I've gained from the Duo
community over the past two years on everything from battery
reconditioning to Ethernetting to you name it!
The package consists of:
PowerBook Duo 2300c
770 MB Hard Drive
100 mHz PowerPC 6032 processor
40 MB RAM, 80 MB RamDoubler (oh heck, I'll send a spare 16 MB chip too)
OS 7.6.1 with certain elements of 8.0
Hardware:
Color LCD Screen in excellent condition, full color, 2-3 stuck pixels
Keyboard slightly sticky, fully functional
Touchpad in good working order

NewerTech external SCSI dock with cable
US Robotics 28.8 K external fax-modem with cables
DuoDock II with working floppy drive, full Ethernet, etc. ports
Asante FriendlyNet Ethernet adapter for 10B/100 Ethernet port
and Category Five Ethernet cables for ethernet crossover
2 batteries, each of which will hold a charge of 1 to 1 1/2 hours when
fully charged (plus battery holder)
AC adapter and cable
Apple Microphone
Software:
MS Office 98
MS FrontPage
Internet Explorer 4.5
Netscape 4.6.1
NiftyTelnet-PPC
Cyberdog 2.0
Fetch 3.0.3
Now Up-To-Date Calendar software
MacWrite II
Atlas
Tex-Edit
Variety of Internet utilities, Apple and Duo-specific utilities

E Chess 4.02, numerous others
Misc. Software: Graphing calculator, various astronomy software,
Mangia (recipe software), Tape Labeler, Dictionary, many more
I am asking $350 plus the actual cost of shipping for the entire
package. I believe that's a fair price, given comparisons on eBay for
similar packages. If you believe the price is too high, make an offer,
but I believe the price is within range for a machine that is fully
workable in every aspect and has some nice additional features and
software. (If you have any interest in a hulking original 1x Apple
CD-ROM drive, that runs through the SCSI adapter, I'll send it free
but you have to pay shipping.)
Please write me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 617/627-1013.
Yours in Macintosh appreciation,
