Duo Docks!

#1 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 - 22:54 68kMLA

I just picked up a pair of Duo Docks. These ones have the stronger lid with the flap door on them. Both have optional 68882 FPU's installed and both have the extra Vram to show thousands of colours. Both are in good condition, but no keys. One has a VGA card installed. I will try my Benq 15"lcd tonight to see if it will work.

The full size Duo Docks all came with a lock on the side. You could lock you Duo in place so no one could walk off with it!

They are both made by Apple. I took the first one apart, it had an extra cable in it. Turns out it was for the optional harddrive! 230mb. Then I took the other one with the video card apart. The card is an Apple Token Ring 4/16 NB Card!! It is big!! The power supply's in both are dead. I will have to replace a capacitor or swap in another power supply(the power supply from a llci is supposed to fit). I always check these units and buy them if they have the optional 33mhz 68882 FPU in place.

Looks like I spoke to soon. After putting the Docks back together, I left the one plugged in for an hour or so. When I slid the Duo in, it started right up. I will leave the other Dock plugged in for awhile and see what happens.
