Sorry to hear about your bad experience. ...and the keyboard is the worst example of a Duo I've ever used. It's never a good thing when one must pound or continually press t…

With the purchase of this curiosity, I feel that it may be time to re-think the whole eBay thing. This machine was advertised as a Duo 280. I figured cool, I don't have one of tho…

they appear quite frequent (the classic IIs) on ebay UK. Should be easy to get one

There's one everywhere. Freenode, Undernet, MacSpeak... you name it. It's just that except the Freenode, Undernet & MacSpeak ones are registered, all the other's aren't.

oh there is one on freenode? I'm there all day

I'd be excited if i my Classic II still had a good analog board I've got one...got it in '98, and it died only last year. Great machine
