Has anyone ever encountered a minidock where the serial port(s) were finicky?? I was just hooking up the 280c for my daughter to go to college with -- i.e., getting it all set up here at home just as it will be in the dorm so I can handle any last minute problems. Anyway, hook up the Stylewriter to the dock and on one of my minidocks, the machine hangs. With the other one, using the printer port, it complains that it can't make the connection. When I use the modem port on that minidock, it prints OK. And when it's not attached to the dock, the Stylewriter does fine directly to the 280c's serial port. While it is printing OK right now, that's sort of a shaky feeling, sending her off like that. (Of course, since she'll have ethernet to her room I'm hoping that she'll be able to print to a shared printer also...) So, do I have two bum minidocks, or is this something else?? (if they are bad, it just figures... When I got them I checked the floppy, SCSI, video, ADB and, of course, power ports. Since I didn't have the printer right in the room there, I just assumed that if all the other ports were fine, then the serial ports would be also...
