GLOD it seems on my 2400

[Parkblue at gmx.net]

Comment from another GLOD-victim: if you like your 2400 and intend to keep
it - by all means also have a bigger drive installed.

Shortly after DTT replaced my board my HD gave up. Larry (thanks again!) was
nice enough to let me have his stock drive, and I installed it myself (not
such a big deal if you're methodical and have taken things apart before).
But what I should have done is have DTT install a bigger drive or install
one myself. If you plan to part with your 2400 in any case it's a different
story, but then replacing the board may not be feasible. So there... *g*

The Pismo (and any other 36W or45W) power adapter is
completely fine to use with the 2400.

Just saw a NOS Duo battery (Model# m1499) for sale on half.com.  $16.99 +
shipping.  Will an eight year old battery that is still in the original box,
never used, be any good?  What Duos will it fit?
