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

[Larry Friedman]

At some point I began referring to the 280c as a replacement model 
because it is an inexpensive and viable upgrade from a broken 270c, 
unless your tasks require the FPU. I didn't think that anyone said the 
the Apple LC models were named as such because of the chip they were 
running.
