>Duo batteries. The bane of every Duo user. You Ain't Never LIED!!! ;-) That's what recently led me to go the opt of getting a mobile(?) external power source to plug my AC adaptor in, when I need to Duo-On-The-Go. Anyway, regarding your e-mail: >FInally, I took the HD out of the Duo 210 and put it into an >unmodified Duo 270c. The result - no change, the Duo 270c would not >run off any batteries. >I put another HD (with a later system) into the Duo 210, and the Duo >210 _still_ ran off of batteries. Correct me if I am wrong, but if Duo 210s don't have a completely different setup that would draw power in different levels from batteries, then I know that Duo 210s and later Duos used different batteries (types I, II and III). Perhaps you are using a battery (Type I?) that a 210 can use but a later Duo cannot?? (And as far as I am concerned, I am just happy that my Duo battery can simply hold enough of a charge to keep my clock, date and prefs saved up to a day w/o being plugged in! With my 280c turned off the entire time, of course!) ------- Craig W.
