The 2300c MoBo was an upgrade designed to replace the MoBo of EVERY Duo from the original 210 & 230 on up, so it was designed to utilize existing HDDs and screens of ALL Duo types. It was promised as an upgrade from the very introduction of the Duo "System."
Ergo, both Apple's poor implementation of SCSI and Apple's intentionally (?) lamed IDE implementations & connectors are present on the 2300c as well as support and connectors for B&W, Grayscale and Color LCDs.
Which makes the 2300c one of the most interesting and hackworthy of PowerBooks ever released!
IMHO, the first thing to do in the "care & feeding" of Duos (or any other Mac in your collection) is to go to the Peripherals: LINKS Project: Rev. 3.0 and collect the DevNotes, Service Manuals, User Manuals and System Spelunking Tools for your toys, starting from the link to ~gamba2 and working the many other links that have been contributed by members there since the early days of the 68kMLA.
