However, if you can get a 165, 165c, 180 or 180c, there is a very rare 56k internal modem that you can get for 'em. I have one and when my 180c and 165c worked, it was really cool. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

One was never actually ever made for the Mac! I picked one up brand new for about ninety bucks because it looked just like my 33.6k LinkCom and it turned out to be made by the company that OEM'd the LinkCom for NewerTech. Works great with the cables from the older Mac version! I was even able to nab a couple of NIB AC adapters for it for next to nothing so I didn't have to shut down the Duo to attach the SCSI MicroDock for the ADB cable power adapter. jt .

maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 17 May 2003 : 05:05:29 Actually, mine's an internal modem ala the PowerBook Modem 2400. And yes, it really is a 56k modem. The few times i tried it it wouldn't connect at any lower speed, and it actually seemed quite fast. Won't work on my PB145B though. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

Christophillis Forums Squadron Commander USA 688 Posts	Posted - 17 May 2003 : 15:11:30 Dang it. Oh well, I guess ill just use my G4 for internet. Here is another idea of mine. I want to paint my Duo Silver... like my GBA SP. I have heard over at the fritter that Krylon is the best to do this with, but here is the problem. How do I go about doing this so that it will look good, cover the whole thing (exluding keyboard and logos) and not not wear off very much? Edit: I also want to replace the green LED's in under the Caps Lock and up on the upper right hand corner of the screen, with blue ones. Any help? 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Recently Rescued from Deep within Enemy Lines: Christophillis- Lt.
