The Duo, being such a strange beast, has left a lot of people in confusion. This file summarizes the Duo information I've collected to date - hopefully it will end some of the confusion. This information is accurate as of today to the best of my knowledge, but I make no warranties. I'd appreciate any corrections or updated information being mailed to me (please be succinct and patient about a response). I post updated versions of this FAQ on comp.sys.mac.portables roughly every two weeks and copies are available via anonymous FTP or AFS at mac.archive.umich.edu and it's mirrors in the archive/mac/util/powerbook directory. Nicholas C. De Mello "nick.c" nick+@pitt.edu Added since last post ===================== o Included Rich Wolfson's explanation of how to totally dis-assemble your duo (and tried it out too!). o Included some new info on the RasterOps mini docks (how to use with multi-sync monitors and warning: *they are not currenty compatible with 280/280c's* o Note: the control stip you're looking for is not on any ftp sites. It is currently only available with new powerbooks o Note: the "Table of Contents" only appears in section 0/3 now (otherwise I'd have to resection the parts again - 1/3 and 3/3 are too long) Next project ============ Trying to make a 'section 4' that will have portable information that's not unique to the Duo. Ie ram and battery info, airlines x-rays, battery friendly word processors. Hopefully, this'll eventually grow into a seperate FAQ.
