And in this case it sounds like you've got the floppy adapter. So, you're correct that you need a different micro-dock, and those (the SCSI ones) only come up on eBay rarely. Now, if you're willing to put up with something just a bit bigger, you can look for a mini-dock. That's got all the standard (for the day) Powerbook ports on the back. That includes: ADB, power, floppy, video out, modem, printer, and HDI-30 SCSI. (I don't think I left any out, but I'm too lazy to get off my butt and take 5 steps across the room and look... :-) ) These things are pretty nice to have to leave on a desk with a big keyboard & mouse, perhaps a CD &/or Zip drive, and maybe a StyleWriter and a 56k modem all hooked up and waiting for when you come home from the road. The only warning I'd give is that on the two I own, the serial ports are flaky... I can't get my StyleWriter to work at all on one and only on the 'modem' port of the other. But, since this is a sample of only two used devices, perhaps I just had some bad luck. But since I use them to keep SCSI, floppy and a trackpad hooked up, it's not really a problem. Anyway, that's my 2 cents, and then some... - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst@NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== If aviation had grown as slowly as space travel, the first paying customer would have flown in 1943 -- in the 1,657th expendable Wright Flyer. ===================================================================== ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
