I have an old PB 280c which works but there is no os installed, the startup disk with a question mark comes up whenever I start it. Unfortunately I don't have the Dock, so I was thinking of taking out the hard drive sticking it into my old performa installing AppleWorks 5, 8.0 or 7.5 on it, as well as some printer software. Is this possible? And also when i take the old pb apart what tools do i need?

You'd need small torx screw-drivers and the Apple-take-apart PDF. google. Its small and brittle inside a Duo.
You probably know its a 2,5" SCSI-disk. Be prepared to hunt down an adapter...
Else you might consider to e-bay a dock.

The laptop drives don't have the same SCSI connector that 3.5" desktop drives do.
I assumet this goes with SCSI too. IDE drives have different connectors for laptop and desktop drives.
