Without even opening my trusty 2300, I have the answer to your question. Using the Apple Service Source Manual from 1995, I looked up the logic board connectors for the 2300. On the logic board are both FSTN (passive) and TFT (active matrix) connections. Consider further that this is the "stock" logic board for the 2300 and not the upgrade, as none of the 2xx series Duo chapters in the manual mention the PPC upgrade (nor does the 2300 chapter for that matter). The other various upgrades offered at the time (210/230 to 250, 250 to 280, 270c to 280c) are mentioned, however. Therefore, I would assume that at this point in the Duo development (late '94/early '95), they were not even offering the PPC upgrade. But, they clearly planned for it and implemented it in the most cost effective manner possible, one logic board with dual video and dual drive capabilities. AFAIK, the 2300 is the only PowerBook to offer dual IDE & SCSI support. Now we can add dual passive & active matrix support as well! Long live the Duo! Marc Sira wrote: > > Yes.
