I figured that being nubus the 68k people would have some info, but ok:)


> Reading down that page I see that the 2300 is supported,

they say 'limited support'. the last time I looked into this, 'limited
support' turned out to mean the only way to use the machine was to log
in through the serial port... and that kinda defeats the purpose of
having a laptop :)

according to the nubus-pmac page, the floppy and sound still aren't
supported... neither of those are a huge deal to me, but I want to find
info confirming that the onboard video and adb *are*.

not even a "2+2=5" kind of day, more like "2+2=... fish".

3. use for a duo 2300c? 

I have an old duo 2300c, I also have 3 powersupplies for it, a floppy, 
newertech ethernet microdock, apple mini dock, two full size docks, adb 
flexlight, adb numpad.... etc..

about the only thing I DON'T have for this machine is a working battery 
and a purpose. can anyone think of a way I can put this machine to good 
use? can I install linux/apache on it and make it a crappy webserver or 
something? right now it just sits on a shelf collecting dust.. the most 
I do with it is turn it on once in a while to play oxyd.


any ideas would be appreciated! :)
(and no, I'm not really interested in selling it)

It's as on-topic for this group as the PS3 posts of Roy and Mark--some
people do run Linux on their Mac Mini.
