Just acquired this from eBay - the screen is awesome. Awesome little Mac.

Now to see if I can find some more RAM in my stash (currently has 12MB) and load up Mac OS 7.6.

I'm thinking of firing up Bolo.... 🙂

Yeah, that seriously has to happen....

I have fond memories of networked Bolo on LC630s in first year Uni (1998).

I was just going to email you Greg 🙂

Enjoy! Glad you like it; having two Duos was too many for me (I kept my Duo 2300c, in some ways a slower machine, but it has the most nostalgia as I drooled over one that a lecturer owned when I first started uni).

You'll note my thread on the Duo Dock repair in this very forum. PSU is good, must be the logic board, but I just didn't have enough time to spend on it - replacing the caps was enough work with a 7 month old kicking around 🙂
