Hello Again,
I removed trackpad cable, put in other HD and inserted Duo into dock. I get the same
symptoms, I can start with power up key on keyboard plugged into dock, but no other
keys on external keyboard work. The duo will toggle between desktop items using duo's
keyboard (internal HD, external HD, or Trash) but still a locked cursor (using docks
mouse). Both HD's show second loaded extension as a big question mark, what is this
extension? The 2nd HD (last used) also has a extension further down the line with a
laptop (oops, powerbook) icon with the big red X through it. The external HD I have
plugged into Dock has either 8.1 or 8.5 on it, is there a way to force Duo to use it
as Start up disc without choosing it in the normal way? I'm open to any suggestions
as the logical next step. Thanks,
