Does your dock have an internal hard drive? With a system on it?  If so Set
your duo to start up on the dock drive ( It will default to the internal duo
when it's not docked )  Set it up for appletalk and appleshare using one or
the other (G3 or Dock)for the server and they should work back and forth
with no problem.  (Appleshare will allow you to use all three drives G3,
Dock and Duo)  Since it dosen't sould like you have a mini dock the
mirroring won't work and in a full dock... I wouldn't advise trying to POP
the top off and use the duo monitor again.
