Ah, craigslist is my friend.

PowerBook Duo 230, broken lid latch, dead battery, but otherwise works.

PowerBook 150, no battery, no hard drive. Boots from floppy.

DuoDock (original, not even modded for color Duos.)

Apple Extended Keyboard II

Apple External Floppy Drive (800k, "snow white"-style.)

And, the real reason for the trip:

QuickTake 200, complete with cables and CD.

$65 total. But may very well get more stuff from him free later. When he realized I was doing it because I collect, he also threw in an ancient PC laptop (286, dual 720 KB floppies, no hard drive,) and said that when he goes through his storage unit, he'd be happy to send stuff my way, including an old Mac monitor, and maybe a Power Mac/Performa 6300-series or two.

I also picked up a dead Newton MP 2000 last week, hoping to bring it back to life. But sadly, when I opened it up, I saw that it had a blown capacitor on the motherboard that had leaked capacitor goo all over, and killed a few other components. I also got a few Newton cases, lots of software, Newton-compatible PC Cards (two flash RAM cards, a modem, and a NIC,) some cables, and a Newton keyboard.

Just paid for a Color StyleWriter 2200 (the portable one,) on eBay, $17.98 shipped.
