Hi, I've got a pretty decent Duo 270c (color/24/200/14.4) and some other items I'd like to sell. 7.6 on CDR, a Reno external CD drive, an Apple external CD drive, Wordscan (a decent mid 1990s OCR program) unopened, a whole bunch of cables and connectors, extra batteries, etc. Email me if interested.
