[Duo2400] Re: Replacement PB Duo 270C active matrix screen?

[larry.s.f at mindspring.com]

My thought is that picking up a working 280c and transferring the HD and RAM (if needed) will not only be less expensive, but get a faster machine than the 270c. If you are looking for parts only, my friend landed a batch of various Duo stuff and he may have what you need as well.

That's a good point Larry. I hadn't realized that the duo's had that 
much compatibility. That'd be a much cheaper way for Bart.
