I have a Duo 280 prototype and a Duo 230 engineering sample. Any idea on value?
The 280 has a lable on the bottom which says Yeager Prototype Unit- Not For Resale and a warning that it is not FCC approved. The 280's lid has PowerBook Duo 250 below the Apple logo. About This Macintosh identifies it as a 280 with 12 megs RAM. It has the 14.4 modem and a 320 meg Apple hard drive. The 230 has no lables at all on the bottom but inside on the frame by the left hinge it has a bright pink lable that says Engineering Sample and on the right end of the frame is hand written in marker Glued and tested ground clips 3.20.93 The lid has Macintosh and PowerBook Duo 230 in the right places but it looks a bit crooked to me, like it was stenciled on by hand. The 80 meg Apple drive in the 230 doesn't work and until I disconnected it, it would only boot as far as displaying the mouse cursor. With the drive out it goes to the flashing floppy disk. I have a DuoDock 1 which worked for a short time with the 280. The person I got these from repaired the Dock's power supply, but evidentially didn't find _everything_ wrong with it. I had the 280 in, put the ROM image grabber from Basilisk II on the hard drive then shut down and ejected. Tom Owad of applefritter.com asked for pics of these and ROM images to compare with production versions. So I have the ROM image from the 280 prototype but it's "trapped" on the Duo since the Dock is defekt again. :( The Dock appears to be an ordinary production version, and has a Farallon NuBus NIC with AUI and RJ45 ports. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
