Boxed PB 2400c/240 - 56K Warning

Great scores! That 2400c is arguably nicer than my own boxed one.


Haha, thanks! On the one hand, yours didn’t come with any issues to address out of the box.  🙂  But I’m happy to be back in the 2400 club.

Guys, I think this is it. I probably have the most ultimate PB 2400c in the entire forum. Quite possibly the nation. And even, the world. I can go no further. 400MHz G3 and max RAM. All this. To make. The most ultimate. Mobile. Vintage Tomb Raider gaming rig. Evar.

But I mostly use it to play music on iTunes.  :mellow:

 I also finally acquired Mac OS 8.6, and my 3rd iTunes CD.

And a Trio.

That's a fine looking 2400 you've got there!  I'm still amused every time I see a 2400 because of how the mouse button looks like a handlebar mustache.

Nice 2400c!  Should make for a highly useful vintage Mac.  I picked up the 96MB RAM upgrade for mine years ago, but forgot where from - I'm pretty sure it didn't come from Japan.

I was trawling through Mercari, and came across this clear case for the 2400c:

... I'm assuming it is a little too niche for @maceffects to construct 🙂

Thank you, sir! It's a beautiful machine, and the 2400c/240 systems have been popping up surprisingly more frequently on Yahoo! I think it's a good time to get one if you're thinking about it. Mouse button is definitely something else.

The RAM module was one of the more difficult pieces to find, I thought it would be a walk in the park. Because...RAM. When a system popped up with both the G3 upgrade and the RAM, I kept an eye on it thinking it would skyrocket to some outrageous amount. I even posted the auction link here hoping someone might acquire it from this forum. Lo and behold, I put in the amount I was willing to go. Time ran out, so my bid extension did not register last minute, but the competitor did not outbid me. Funny, the auction was a non-extended one, so whenever the time ended, the last bidder gets it. And it was me. 

I actually passed that listing many times surfing on Mercari! Had a owned a working 2400c at the time, I probably would have been halfway interested in it; but no matching clear palmrest. It would be rather amazing if these clear shells could be produced. I'd wholeheartedly be interested.
