I have an extra Duo 230 motherboard, HD and B&W display from a 280c
upgrade. I've always speculated about turning it into a little server by
"nailing the board to a wall", but I've never bothered to get the
(appropriately named) on/off card and the pin-out for the harmonica.
If I jumper the power pins, that takes care of that. I could control it
with Timbuktu.
Or ... do you suppose I could find the ADB buss by jumpering across the
trackball leads?
