Anybody know what's the coolest stuff these things can do?
Run Linux? ;)

Well the answer for the Duo 230 is not much. It's slow, has a monochrome, 640x480 
screen, a small hard drive and little RAM. 500 meg was the largest 2.5" SCSI 
hard drive, huge for a Mac of that vintage, more likely the Duo has somewhere around 
40 meg. There's been some bigger SCSI drives for PowerBooks, but they're IDE drives 
with a very small SCSI to IDE bridge attached, they don't fit all PowerBooks due to 
the extra length.

Hmm, I have a Powerbook Duo 280c with a 1 gig 2.5" SCSI drive. I'll see if I can dig it out of my stuff and get more info on it.
