I am guessing that a full 200 W power supply that was reworked to fit
the dock might prevent the Duo from crashing during recondition or
battery insert. I am hoping the power manager would be able to
detect the more powerful source and allow more juice in. Of course,
your dock might explode with the force of a thousand suns, but who
cares ?
Just a guess, but it doesnt take much to get me to try it. : )
