Dear Magnificent Ms. Brandy: I have a Duo 280c that has been formant mow for years, has a broken clicker (a little nub snapped in transit) and despite hearing on more than one occasion "The Chime of Death," the little beauty managed to boot now and again.
OS7.5, external floppy-disk and a Newer Technology mini dock with ethernet; hell, I even have a StyleWriter II. This is just an affectation, but I would love to resurrect the lot. Any thoughts, guidance, solutions would be most welcome! Thank you!
