I'll take your responses to mean that no, I can't use the iMac as a monitor to the dock, though I assumed as much at first. Victoria, Thanks for the offer, but actually I'm across the ocean in Canada. =) Andrew, Yes, one of the docks has Ethernet through an installed NuBus card. What I'm wondering though, is if I turn on the appropriate networking while the Duo is undocked, dock it, and look for the Duo in the Network Browser (OS 9.2), will it show up even if I don't have a monitor/keyboard/mouse plugged in to the dock? Or is the monitor a prerequisite for the duo in the dock to work at all? For $ and space reasons, I'd like to not have to get a monitor to add to the mix.
