[Duo2400] Fuse on 2400 I/O Board

2003-01-07 Thread Rod Lavington

Hmmm, no PC card slot, but it sure looks like it's the heir apparent...and the best we're going to see. Interestingly enough, I paid $1700 for my PB2400 back in 1998...right after it dropped from $2500, from the original $3200 or so. Lots more bang for the buck these daysthankfully. heh...
