I have a "bare" Powerbook Duo 2300c; 8mb (motherboard) RAM and no HD, but it 
is tested and working great! Screen is clear and functioning great. Exterior 
is in very good condition appearance-wise also. No battery (see below) or AC 
adapter... if interested e-me off list.

As far as RAM, the 2300c can use most, if not all, of the RAM that the lower 
Duos can use. With the exception, of course, of anything bigger than the 36mb 
RAM module, whihc is 2300c-territory only, AFAIK.

As far as HDs, the 2300c can accept a 2.5" IDE or SCSI HD; you just also have 
to have the corresponding HD ribbon cable. I believe I have an extra of each 
type lying around....

Finally, I also have a few Type I-III batteries; the best ones last for 2+ 
hours; the worst about 2+ MINUTES(!).
