This morning I picked up a pair of PowerBook 3400c from the original owner ($175 for both). They appear quite clean. I removed the rechargeable battery and plugged in power. Both chime and start to boot. One has some hard drive clunking and then Norton Disk Doctor launches and tries to repair itself before finally freezing up. After starting with extension off, it appears to be 240MHz with 80MB RAM on 7.6 with 2.6GB HD.
The other boots into 7.6 (appears to be 200MHz, 16MB RAM, 800MB HD) and is loaded with games.
Do these need to be recapped? What other dangers are in store or can I just run them as they are?
Both have a battery, floppy, CD-ROM, power cord, AM-400 ADB 400dpi ball mouse, and carrying bag. Also included a single Dual-Tray storage bay, an apple network/phone-net adapter, a battery from a G3 PowerBook (who wants it?), and a PowerBook Weight-Saving Device.
I will probably try to install CF adapter cards because I think I have some old 1GB and 8GB CF cards laying around.
