>2. Will a Type III work with a 230 running OS 7.6.1? Yes, and without the need for any enabler or battery update (the same applies to 7.5.x). It should last quite a long time,too (around six hours without trying very hard in a Duo 230 12/240). I have found that it can be helpful to reset the power manager when switching up to a better or newer battery; it won't actually affect the runtime, but the low-power warnings can be a little screwy for a while otherwise (since the learned behaviour of the old battery no longer applies). If you want to use a Type III in a 68030 Duo with System 7.1.x, you do need either the Type III Battery extension or the Duo Enabler 2.0, but anything after 7.5 has the support rolled in. For people with external battery chargers, booting a post-7.5 Duo with the charger attached to the AC adaptor will also update that (though I really don't know how). -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you can't play with words, what good are they?" ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
