the 280c was made in 1994... doesnt qualify... ---> Yep, sadly that is true. I will use a Duo 230 instead. However, they are wondering if they should allow any computer that uses a processor that existed before March 1993, which would qualify quite a few more machines. But that's ok, the 230 should be fine. BTW... will a color screen from another duo work on the 230? Doc Clu
