I think you will find any power pack for a DUO, 1400, WallStreet, Lombard,
Pismo and ClamShell ibook will work - even the flying saucer model.
They all give 24V with the same shielded tip/sleeve plug.
Earlier DUO ones may be a little current .limited and not give enough
current to both power and charge your 2300 at the same time.
