Comments
The Duo Dock Plus is used to turn a PowerBook Duo subnotebook into a fully
functioning desktop computer. PowerBook Duo subnotebooks have only two
built-in ports: an optional RJ-11 modem port and a serial port for a
printer or external modem. The Duo Dock Plus adds an optional internal
hard drive, 1.4 MB floppy disk drive, and a wide array of standard Macintosh
and PowerBook ports. The Duo Dock Plus has two NuBus slots for internal
expansion cards. The Duo Dock Plus adds 1 MB of built-in VRAM (video RAM).
The additional VRAM allows the Dock to display a variety of resolutions and
16-bit color. The Duo Dock Plus is virtually the same as the Duo Dock II,
but it lacks the standard 68882 FPU found of the Dock II in order to make it
compatible with the 280, 280c, and 2300c. Like the Duo Dock II, the Duo
Dock Plus' notebook enclosure is larger than the Duo Dock, providing
compatibility with newer PowerBook Duos with thicker color displays.
The Duo Dock Plus will work with any PowerBook Duo, but the Duo Dock II
is recommended for use with all Duos before the Duo 280 because it adds
an FPU to those subnotebooks with the exception of the 270c, which has a
built-in FPU. With this docking solution, when you want to take your work
with you, you simply press the eject button on the Duo Dock Plus and the
PowerBook Duo laptop slides out, ready for computing wherever you go.
