I would like to sell my PowerBook 520c. It's less than a year old; I have the original packing, manuals, receipts, etc. It has a 50/25 MHz 68LC040 CPU, and dual-scan color (passive) screen. I added 8 MB of memory to give it a total of 12 MB, and replaced the 240MB drive with a 500 MB drive. The 500MB drive has Apple firmware and so can be used with Apple's drive-formatting tools. The PowerBook has only one battery, but it routinely holds an hour and forty minutes of charge. I also have the original AC power adapter as well, of course. I will also throw in a printer cable. The thing has built-in ethernet (which I've found incredibly handy) as well as an RS-422 printer/modem port, a slot for an internal modem, and an empty bay for a second battery or PCMCIA cage. It also has built-in speakers with 16-bit stereo sound. The screen is good; there are no dead pixels or any banding. The case is in perfect condition, with not so much as a scratch. This PowerBook can be upgraded to a full 68040 for $329 (John Neil and associates) or to PowerPC in a variety of different configurations (Newer Tech, Apple upgrade cards). I will also add a bunch of goodies not normally included with the 520c: Along with the PowerBook I have an external video adapter, an HDI-30 to DB25 SCSI adapter, and a third-part two-button ADB mouse. I also have an Asante AAUI-ethernet-to-10baseT adapter cable for it as well. I also have a very nice black padded carrying case in perfect condition for all of this stuff. All of the above will go to the first bidder for $1500. I live in the Bay Area; if I need to ship the thing, I'd ask that you pay the shipping charges, and pay me by COD. -Tim DeBenedictis timmyd@netcom.com (415)-355-0657 (408)-524-1583
