OK, here is some more info:
It has 750meg drive with system that came with it (7.1 I think?) it has 32meg Ram
card for 40 total (also tried it with 24meg card, same problem with cursor) I tried
it with my other 750meg drive, same results. If I start with extensions off I have
same frozen cursor, ditto for space bar start. I can select HD or Trash on desktop
via arrow keys or typing in H or T. My duo dock plus has no HD installed, I have
hooked a 2 gig external to the Dock via the 40 pin SCSI cable and it does show up on
the desktop under the internal HD but I can't select it as a start up disk. The docks
keyboard only will work as far as the power up key, the arrow keys, return and
shutdown must be done from Duo (I have cover off dock so I can get to duo's keyboard)
I have discovered that my trackpad cable is now torn/cut, it was not this way
earlier, too much screwing around with it and around it I quess. I just secured a
used top case with trackpad and cable off of Ebay, so I guess further work must wait
for its arrival. I would be interested in obtaining a spare trackpad cable and logic
board if anyone has one they want to sell, let me know. Thanks,
