Hey, listers... thought I would see if anyone was interested in my recent collection of PowerBook Duo's and gear. I got excited about making a nice, light word processing machine last year and have been ramping up the energy more recently. I realized yesterday that I just don't have the time to make it all happen. If there's anything you'd like, let me know. I'd be influenced to cut a deal for someone who wanted the whole pack. Prices do not include shipping - whatever the straight charge is from my place to yours:
1. PowerBook Duo 210 ($20) - working well upgraded to OS 7.6.1, 24 MB RAM, I think a 120 GB hard drive, and a new CMOS battery. Comes with power cord. Computer is in good condition with both rear feet intact (wasn't that a great design?). 2. PowerBook Duo 280 ($10) - not sure what it has. Powers up, but only an inch or two at the top of the screen are clear and intelligible. I assume it's a screen problem, but I don't know. I can get the cursor to show up and move, but the hard drive (which is spinning) never seems to bring up an OS. Might just need to be reformatted with a new installation. Can't see to tell. Comes with the Apple unit going to the computer, but not the standard, black wall attachment of the power cord. I do have a brand new CMOS battery for this, but as the computer wasn't fully functional - it hasn't been installed. The body of the computer itself is in excellent condition. 3. A "brand new" (rebuilt) PowerBook Duo battery ($30). I'm not sure how long it lasts, but at least several hours on the 210. Just paid to have it professionally done - warranteed for a year (from the company). 4. A new Asante Desktop EN/SC ($20). I opened the shrinkwrapped box to test it, so I know it's new. I also bought an HDI30 adapter for the dock, so it plugs right in. This is one of the hard-to-find ethernet boxes that doesn't require external power. I was actually able to surf the web plugged directly into my Airport Base Station. 5. A new Apple M1812 battery recharger ($5). Again, I opened the package. 6. (2) HDI20 Apple floppy drives ($5 each). Both seem to work fine, though I've had a bit of a hard time getting a few of my old, poorly stored disks to read. Both drives, however, struggle with the same disks - so I think it's an old disk problem. 7. An Apple Duo MiniDock ($10). Doesn't have ethernet, hence the Asante purchase - but works perfectly. 8. A DuoDock II ($10). No power cord, but seller told me it worked well. I also have another one that I purchased first that came in terrible external shape - included free for parts. 9. Dead batteries (free - for shipping). I was also going to rebuild my own battery. Got a nice Ni-Cd rechargeable internal battery - but really, I don't even know how to solder. What was I thinking? 10. Perhaps the crown jewel - a brand new (unopened) CF-PowerMonster 2.5" SCSI Converter Kit ($75). This converts the old laptop SCSI drive mount into a CompactFlash compatible mount. Obviously, another part of the plan that I just don't have time for. I have a 4 GB CF-card on order that should work - an extra $25 if you want me to throw that in. 11. Also just picked up an Apple video to VGA cable ($5) so I could run the DuoDocks to my monitor. 12. An Apple twisted pair transceiver (5) to add ethernet to the AAUI connection on the DuoDock II. I think that's it. Would make a nice PowerBook Duo system (or two) if you have the time and inclination to put it all together. I prefer PayPal, but checks are fine if you don't mind waiting for them to clear my end. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!
