My thought is that picking up a working 280c and transferring the HD and RAM (if needed) will not only be less expensive, but get a faster machine than the 270c. If you are looking for parts only, my friend landed a batch of various Duo stuff and he may have what you need as well.

I hadn't realized that the duo's had that much compatibility. That'd be a much cheaper way for Bart. Mark ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
