[DuoList] Re:Couple 'a questions about the 280c....

[Jim Allen]

Nathan,

    I can help on a couple of these.

   >1.) Is there any better keyboards I can put in this thing?
 
I use the Powerbook Duo Floppy adapter, which has an ADB port. I hook that
up one of the fullsized ADB keyboards and my favorite ADB mouse, trackball
or joystick. For travelling, I can can fit one of those really small Apple
Keyboard II units in my briefcase without much trouble. I sometimes have to
do lots of typing on my Duo when I travel. I hate all Powerbook keyboads,
but the Keyboard II feels like a fullsized unit but it's compact (15 x 5
inches) enough to carry in a decent sized briefcase.

    >3.) What os do you run? throwing around 8.1...

I like 8.1, but I think you need to be maxed out with 40 megs of ram to use
it effectively. All I use is MS Word and I have a couple of low-power games
to stall off the catatonic stages of motel room boredom (Tetris, SimFarm,
Galactic Empire).
