Just got my battery pack rebuilt for my Duo 250, and now it stays up for a good hour or so rather than just powering on and then back off again. :)
Nice little computer. Might actually replace my Newton 2x00 eventually. The Newton is great, but the Duo can actually emulate several other computers. Is there any way to fool a Duo into thinking it is displaying on 256 color BTW? I believe even the Duo 280 can only display like 16 color right?
No, the 280 I believe can do 256 and I know the 2300 can do 1000's
But nice computer. I have one working dock. I want to get a dock for work and home. Now that would be awesome! I actually have a second dock, but the power supply on it is blown.
Actually there is avery easy and cheap fix for a dock that has ticking power supply problems. It involves a little soldering and spending a buck for a new capacitor from Radio Shack. I've fixed 4 or 5 docks this way.
