The PowerBook Duo Dock and Duo Dock II are the most versatile expansion options for the PowerBook Duo. A Duo Dock itself is not a computer—you need a PowerBook Duo to use it. But the dock and the PowerBook together provide the video, storage, and
input/output capabilities available on most desktop Macintosh computers. This guide explains how to set up a Duo Dock or Duo Dock II and connect other components to it to create a PowerBook Duo System. Although the illustrations in this guide show the Duo Dock II, all explanations and instructions are correct for the Duo Dock, Duo Dock II, and Duo Docks that have been upgraded to a Duo Dock II (except where specifically noted). In this guide the term
Duo Dock is used to refer to the three configurations of Duo
Dock, Duo Dock II, and an upgraded Duo Dock. For information
about using the Macintosh system software or the PowerBook
Duo, consult your PowerBook User’s Guide.
