Where do you get that 512Ke discontinued date? It all depends on which schools you're talking about. Jobs made education sales a priority, especially after the first 6 months when…

They're owned by the city/regional councils, who run the garbage tips. They're actually at the garbage tip. Anyway, that Goodwill sounds great...you'd never see anything like that…

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".

When collectors start trying to make a complete set of every revision and color then some will become valuable because that will separate the rare ones from the commons.

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…

So I was playing around with the idea of adding a second drive to my 7500 as the 500mb drive I was using is too small. I decided to just put a bigger drive in and upgrade one of my…

I've been a member here for three and a half years and have been a subscriber to the LEM lists off-and-on since the Compact Macs list launched about 11 years ago. I attribute the p…

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.

I predict 68kmla membership will drop by 90% as a result of this! Click to expand... Technically, I don't think membership ever goes down, since the accounts still exist even i…

We've got too many smilies and not enough other choices all of a sudden! Click to expand... I'd like to be the first to complain that having the new smilies buried behind the "…

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.

Is anyone here cloning IIsi ROMs? PM, please.

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
