I just bought a refurbed 2400 from Macresq. It looks as fresh as if it just stepped out of a new box. I'm running Techtool pro now, but I can only say that so far it's a beautiful refurb. HOwever, I bought it without the external floppy drive. Now I find that it won't recognize my external CD-ROM unless I boot up from the TEchtool disc, then select the internal harddrive in the startup drive control panel and restart. At that point the external CD-Rom shows up on the desktop. I wonder if there's any little trick to get around this? I could install SCSIProbe if I had a floppy or could network, but I don't have an ethernet card yet. I had never seen a 2400 before except in pictures, I bought it because my 520 was just too, too, too, heavy on long trips, and the Newton was bogging down with the huge emails people send now adays. I will say that the first thought that went through my mind when I saw the desktop appear on the screen was "Baby, where have you been all my life." What an amazing machine. And it's already two years old. What could Apple come up with if it really tried to make a mini with today's technology? Babbette ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
