Screen is clear and functioning great. Exterior is in very good condition appearance-wise also. No battery (see below) or AC adapter... if interested e-me off list. As far as RAM, the 2300c can use most, if not all, of the RAM that the lower Duos can use. With the exception, of course, of anything bigger than the 36mb RAM module, whihc is 2300c-territory only, AFAIK. As far as HDs, the 2300c can accept a 2.5" IDE or SCSI HD; you just also have to have the corresponding HD ribbon cable. I believe I have an extra of each type lying around.... Finally, I also have a few Type I-III batteries; the best ones last for 2+ hours; the worst about 2+ MINUTES(!). Craig W. Atlanta GA ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
