Hi all,
I was formatting diskettes with my Powerbook Duo 230 when suddenly the power supply started popping and smoking and that was that.
I think that's probably it for my Duo; it has no battery, the track ball doesn't work and now the power supply is gone. It's not worth spending money to get it fixed. I might sell its keyboard (which does work), its external floppy drive and the floppy interface, and consign the rest to history.
One thing that did occur to me; will it work with the power supply from my blue iBook? It's a round yo-yo type. Also, how can I make sure the same isn't going to happen to the iBook power supply? The iBook is still new enough to be somewhat useful.
THanks,
Daniel
