Well, thought I'd update since it's potentially more interesting. It is indeed a set of 7 Powerbook Duos, 4 250s and 3 280cs, with a 520c thrown in as an oddball. Along with that is about a dozen or dozen and a half type three batteries, some even seem to hold a charge. The Duos all work great (don't have a power supply for a 520), but the problem is that none of them came with A/C adapters. Without A/C adapters they're useless, and they don't have any budget to put into them.
Which leads to the question. Does anyone know where I can get a dozen or so duo adapters for cheap? If I can keep these things in use I'm willing to put some of my own money into it. I also wouldn't mind a 520c adapter, but I'm less worried about that. Alternatively, I offered to sell the bunch and give the money to them. They were just given to them, somewhat outside the normal procedure, so it's feasable. What would the going price for a 280c/32/510 and 250/12/320 be? I bet I could get them a few hundred, and keep a couple myself (that 520c with all the ports on the back looks sweet...). A few hundred bucks to a budget-starved foreign language dept. might be more useful than a bunch of old laptops that need some work.
