Hello Brynn and fellow Duo/2400 lovers, I've got a PB2400c in "near perfect condition" that I just fixed. It had a bad I/O Power Board which prevented it from booting at all. It had been that way for "several years". I just upgraded the OS to 8.6 (still the most stable OS in my opinion). This machine has "80 Megs RAM", 1.3 Gig Hard Drive, MS Office 98 and a variety of miscellaneous software. It has the original AC Adapter and the External Floppy Drive (EFD). Note: I can not find the cable that connects the EFD to the PB itself. You will have to hunt this down on your own. I went through this machine with a fine tooth comb and made it CardBus Ready (so it can accept the USB/Firewire/other new cards), reseated all of the components, "tightened every screw", and ran Norton Disk Doctor on the drive. I will even give you (or anyone else who's interested) a "brand new" 5-compartment laptop briefcase. It's yours for $350.00 (the I/O Power Board just cost me $105.00 alone) Let me know, Ray rayevans at mac dot com (to prevent auto spammers)
