First, I would like to say (as a relative newbie) how terrific this list is. It is helpful and supportive and gives a real sense of community. I am happy to know there are a bunch of folks who like
I saw an UltraDock, new in box, available for auction the other day. Indeed, I find that there is about one UltraDock per week on eBay. (I auctioned mine a couple of months ago, before finding this list.) UltraDocks on eBay generally go for between $50 and $100. For the two currently available on eBay, try the following links: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1293690884 and http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1296301628 The UltraDock is a pretty terrific device for connecting the duo. However, I find that there are a number of less cumbersome or more practical devices. I particularly like using a regular dock when I need to connect several devices at the same time. Otherwise, I use the Newer Technology SCSI adapter, which is absolutely terrific for using a single SCSI device like a Zip drive. The Newer Technology SCSI MicroDock is the same size as the HDI-20 floppy disk adapter and, unlike the UltraDock, allows you to sleep the PowerBook. And, unlike the UltraDock, the MicroDock can be slipped in a side pocket of a computer bag. These adapters can be found on eBay as well. They are generally slightly cheaper than the UltraDock, but often go for over $50. Hope this perspective proves useful. Best wishes, ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
