Well now that I have my Duo 230 up and running with a battery, I was surprised to find that... you can't put it in the Duo Dock or take it out without shutting it down. When I tried doing that, it came up with an alert (after I unplugged it from the dock again) that basically just said I tried to plug it into the dock, and you have to shut it down first. Is there some workaround or special software that allows it to be able to plug into the dock while it's on? I have System 7.5.5 installed on it currently. I've seen the Duo ads where it shows someone working on it, and they simply plug it into the dock, and it comes up with what was on the screen. Is this just deceptive marketing, or is that a feature of the DuoDock II or DuoDock Plus? Also, is there some way to see how much free space is left on the hard drive in System 7.5.5? I'm running out of room I think, and I'm thinking of putting another HD in the DuoDock. Would a 1Gb drive work, or is that too big? And third, using TattleTech, (Or About this Computer) it shows that it has 12Mb of RAM, whether it's in or out of the Dock. I'm pretty sure that there is more memory installed in the DuoDock, but I could be mistaken. What's the deal with that? Can it address more then 12Mb? MacTracker says it can have up to 24Mb. Oh and one more thing, I noticed it runs a little bit slower with System 7.5.5 then when I had System 7.1 on it. Would System 7.6.1 be an improvement, or just make it slow way down? I would like to get it networked with my Core 2 Duo iMac; I got very limited responses to a thread I started about that a few weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure it would be easier to network from 7.6.1 to 10.5 then 7.5.5... It almost works now, but Chooser just crashes when you try to connect. Well, thanks for reading through all that :) I'm eagerly waiting for everyone's answers!
