FrankenDuo #4

I have for sale, one FrankenDuo system, based off a Duo 230. It has the following features:

  • 12 megs of RAM
  • 160 meg hard drive (Apple Disk scan shows no problems)
  • AC adapter (M7783)
  • WORKING BATTERY! Recently reconditioned; last 2 runs of Battery Amnesia gave 50 and 65 minutes, respectively.
  • System 7.5.5
  • 68030, overclocked from 33 to 35 MHz
  • a superior quality heat pad that removes more heat from the CPU
  • passive matrix black and white screen
  • LCD shows no dead pixels
  • modem has been replaced with an ADB port
  • trackball has been replaced with a clear ball
  • a hard drive activity LED (red) has been added under the clear trackball
  • the green CAPS LOCK LED has been replaced with a brighter, red one
  • parameter RAM battery registered 3.0 V on both cells

Downsides:

  • unit is not brand new and shows some of the wear one would expect from parts that are 9 years old
  • there are some minor scratches and scuffing and a small nick near the ADB port (see picture)
  • battery is difficult to remove from the bay and requires a bit of muscle

Overall the unit is in very good condition and runs quite well.
