I got the card at a used computer store, all nice and sealed up in it's original plastic, never been opened. I tried to connect to Mach5 (linux machine), only to meet with failure. After about 3 days of trying every driver and hardware configuration I could come up with, I gave up. The cables and hub tested out fine, as did the ethernet in Mach5, so I went back to the used computer store (2 days after the waranty ran out ) and got another, newer card. It runs perfectly. While the green paper card in the EN/SC box said that it was compatible with the duo dock, I think that either that must be with a Original duo dock (Not the Dock II), or that they had never tested the card in the dock, and just put that in there to sell more cards. My drive never did act funny tho... ----- "What is it we're doing, exactly?"
