PowerBook Duo 230 with Duo Dock

Description

PowerBook Duo 230, M7777. Introduced in 1992 at $2610, this compact lightweight (4.2 lbs) PowerBook features a 33 MHz 68030 processor and a 9.1″ grayscale passive matrix display – “Supertwist”. Until the MacBook Air, the Duo’s were the smallest and lightest laptop produced by Apple. To achieve this, the Duo had a smaller keyboard and trackball, a docking connector and a mini din 8 serial port. Everything connected through the docking connector – Duo Dock for turning into a desktop computer, minidocks and microdocks for different ports and functionality.

Duo Dock, M7779. The DuoDock turns the PowerBook Duo into a fully featured desktop Macintosh by adding a 1.44MB floppy disk drive, serial ports, sound, modem, Apple DB-15 video, and ADB along with nubus expansion slots. It also can allow for a second hard drive, more vram an FPU to make performance better.

*There one complete set of manuals – optional with purchase. An extra battery (non working) will be included with this package as well.
