Hey everybody; new to the forums, happy to be here.
When I was a kid (I'm 26 now) i always thought Powerbook Duos were the coolest thing ever, but of course my parents weren't going to buy a 9 year old a $5000 laptop. Anyway when I got to become the cool young adult working in finance I got a macbook air, the current equivalent, but it just wasn't the same. Over the past few months i've bought different pieces to what I want to be the ultimate duo 280c system on ebay, which i'm going to pick up at my mom's house in 4 weeks (I'm an expat living in Guangzhou, China, didn't want to deal with having it shipped here). I want to ask some experienced 68kMLAers if I'm missing anything that's a must have for the system.
So far i've got
Powerbook Duo 280c
Max RAM upgrade
Couple batteries (i'll get rebuilt at batteries plus)
Duo Dock Plus (with AAUI adapter)
Apple 600e CD drive (with all the terminators, cables and powerbook scsi adapter)
Rasterops 24XLTV nubus video card with video in cables
Newer Ultradock 16SCE
Original CIV 2 68K version CD (BEST GAME EVER!!!)
Anything else I should be on the lookout for? I know the dock has two nubus slots, any advice for anything interesting I could put in the second slot?
Thanks for any good advice
