I was going to guess that a "tip shop" was like a thrift store, but this sounds a bit different. Are they actually owned by the garbage companies? As far as Goodwill, if you want …

jt: a "tip shop" is a shop at the garbage tip (or dump) where they sell stuff that they think is saleable. Things like electrical items, books, CDs/DVDs/videos/cassettes, furniture…

Another thing to consider is that the 512Ke is not actually marked as "enhanced" or "e" on its nameplate. The only surefire ways to know if it's enhanced (originally or not) are to…

Mine is definitely a 2300c, not an upgraded model. The screen size measures 9.5" and the sticker on the bottom of the case reads, "Macintosh PowerBook Duo 2300 Series".

Rodus When you install a CPU upgrade you have to pull the old card, press the reset button, THEN install the new CPU. I had that problem with my G4 1000 upgrade. My 7500 wouldn't …

Nice lappie. Calm before the storm...

I know he doesn't care about the historical accuracy of the listing, it's just fun to mess with people sometimes. } :lol:

Interesting note about my 2300c is that it has a trackball instead of a trackpad. It was like this when I purchased it, so I'm not sure of the history, whether the wristrest or tra…

8-o That's amazing! BTW, what the heck is a "Tip Shop" anyway? :?: Goodwill has stopped accepting computers in NC, which is bad enough, but when I stopped at one in NJ,…

Maybe someone should buy it put a small deposit down, then say they want to do local pickup and then set the seller straight. I agree on reporting the item.

True, but there's nothing in the 68kmla rules about the abolition of private ownership and redistribution of resources – that's the People's Liberation Army... down the hall; secon…

It's been a while since I've had the Duo out... I'll have to take a look at the screen size. I no longer have the 270c or 280c, but I seem to remember it having a larger screen. Pl…

Does the 2300c have the same size screen as your 68k models? The 2300c came with a 9.5" display, while the 68k color models came with an 8.5" display. If your "2300c" has a small…

I've owned three Duo's... 270c, 280c, and 2300c (which I still have). All of them were great computers. They were my main laptops when I owned them, I kept trading up for the next …

For great justice.

Some pretty amazing stuff on there. Not my kind of thing, but certainly interesting to look at all in one spot!

The RAM chips on the motherboard are two rows of 8 chips. they're at the opposite end of the motherboard from the connectors

Have you tried it without the Y cable attached? When I first had a IIe card I didn't have the cable and I believe without the cable it dropped me into the startup screen with a bas…

Sage iMac was my favorite iMac. I loved the color.

It's Spring Break so I'm back in town at my parents' house. I got out the Power Mac 9500 to try putting a good PRAM battery in. The donor was the blue & white G3 (which is …

That's what I thought too, but here is his site: http://homepage.mac.com/cliff_huston/.public/Offering/Early_Apple.html

quadraman, yes it does.

Very nice! I saw one at a thrift store the other day for $50. $5 is definitly a good deal!

Does that wallpaper come with OS X?

It is an Apple 5.25 drive. It's a bit dirty, so I'll try to clean it up and see if I can clean the "read" head(s). I'm thinking that I might be able to find an II share ware prog…
