Taking a quick tour through a local Thrift Shop I spotted the round shape of a webcam. Looking closer, it was an early Connectix webcam. First one I have actually seen. The price was right, $1.99!! Have not had time to test it yet. Picked up another DuoDock too. This one had a set of...

The docks are interesting. They take apart very easily. Did yours come with the FPU and extra vram? They are both nice to have. I hope your keyboard works better than mine! Nice find!

Looks like I spoke to soon. After putting the Docks back together, I left the one plugged in for an hour or so. When I slid the Duo in, it started right up. I will leave the other Dock plugged in for awhile and see what happens.

They are both made by Apple. I took the first one apart, it had an extra cable in it. Turns out it was for the optional harddrive! 230mb. Then I took the other one with the video card apart. The card is an Apple Token Ring 4/16 NB Card!! It is big!! The power supply's in both are dead...

The full size Duo Docks all came with a lock on the side. You could lock you Duo in place so no one could walk off with it!

I just picked up a pair of Duo Docks. These ones have the stronger lid with the flap door on them. Both have optional 68882 FPU's installed and both have the extra Vram to show thousands of colours. Both are in good condition, but no keys. One has a VGA card installed. I will try my Benq...

Yes the adapter and card are internal, replacing the harddrive. The silence is great!!!

One of the first Mac SE's I picked up had Music 2.5 on it. You could write notes and have the SE play it back to you. Had a lot of options and a nice piano keyboard. You could put 2 mice on the SE and use them at the same time on the music keyboard. The SE could could make music and you could...

I am thinking of purchasing one of the adapters. But I will sell off some extra Mac stuff to pay for it first. I think putting into a Duo would be great. Make the unit even lighter than it is already. As to wearing out the CF card, it might be an issue if it was in your one and only...

My CF adapter showed up today!! It was shipped fast!!! First glitch was there is an extra pin. The harddrive plug off the computer has one pin deleted. So after a five second thought process I bent the pin out of the way and plugged in the adapter. The PB1400 fired up showing flashing...

Had a bit more time to play on the Ibook. As a matter of fact, I am writing this post on it!! It is O.S 10.3 and has 384mb of ram. This thing is awesome!! I will have to put a shim in it later, but for now the C clamp will do. I am not used to such a quiet laptop, pleasant change!!

I had some time to do a little research on the Ibook. Found an article that had some things to try. I put pressure on the bottom of the Ibook and pressed the start button. It chimed and booted right up to O.S. X. Then it asked for a password. Have to figure out if I can get past that. I...

Picked up an Ibook and an Impulse Reply 200. It is the first Ibook I have picked up. Does not work. More than likely the motherboard is dead. But as far as I can figure out it has a 600mhz cpu, 128mb of ram, a 20gb harddrive, cd player and an airport card. Came with the charger and a travel...

I have a couple of Duo's. Both the keyboards are bad. I found some extra keyboards and tried them. They were also bad. After trying to type on the duo, my PB180 is pure joy!!!

The hardrive in my duo was making lots of noise. I swapped in my last extra 320mb 2.5 scsi drive. Newer(1994??) faster and much quieter. I have been looking at the CF/adapter idea. It would make the duo even lighter. Early duo's usually have from 80-240mb. I have a couple of 256mb...

Nice find. Love the colour!!

Yes the sound is from the inside of the duo, not from the speaker. I find the sound a bit disconcerting coming from an electronic component!! Otherwise it works well. So I will just ignore the buzz/hiss sound!! I want to put more v-ram in the dock. Will add a 20mb ram strip to the duo...

The first post describes what happens with the battery already removed.

I used an ac adapter from my 1400(24V/45W) to start the duo without the dock for the first time. Everything worked fine. Tried it an hour later and got an odd buzzing sound. It buzzes when you plug in the adapter and again when you press the start switch. It is not a very good sound. the...

I usually use a product called Arctic Silver 3. It is really supposed to conduct heat well. I usually use it when I am cleaning up any older computer that uses a heat sink.
