After owning each unit for the past few days I have swapped the RAM card and Hard drive in the 230 into the 280c. Still works great and I gained new experience in opening up a duo.
The 2300c has a few quirks: the trackpad acts up when it boots and for a while afterward, and it will not wake from sleep properly.
The 280c did not like system 7.5.5 on the 120MB I pulled from the 230. It kept bombing mid boot however I eventually disabled the right extension causing the issue (I am still not sure exactly which one it is...project for later).
The 230 now has the old 40MB drive that is suspect but works at this point. If it dies, I have a 160 around that I do not have a power supply for but has a 40MB hard drive in it.
