Hmmm.....interesting question...and I have a Rocket in the junquebox....but it is unfortunately only an '040/25, so it would not do much for the 280. >Would I have to junk 7.5.x on the Duo and go back to 7.1.x? Think that they worked better under 7 than under 7.5 & up. Haven't had mine running for a looooong time.....wanna play with one? >Would it still network well with my other Macs via Ethernet, if I did >downgrade the system? >Is there a particular Rocket that I should avoid - or install? IIRC the Rocket was only an '040 at either 25 or 40 mhz.....I could be wrong, tho. (heh, just ask my wife....I'm ALWAYS wrong!) >Would a Rocket increase the speed of my machine when docked? >Would it boot up as a separate virtual computer? >Well, as you can see, I've lots of questions. Anyone got answers? >Should I join the Rocketeers list and leave you all alone? Nah...we LOVE these types of questions. Heck, if I had time, I'd pull my Dock out and try it....tho I'd have to pull the CD I stuffed into it...can't put a full length card into the Dock anymore. Try it and see...think someone DID try it (210 or 230) and it did work, tho the resulting increase was, at most, nominal. If there is a PPC Rocket, that would be more interesting, even with the limiting factor of the Dock bus. Cheers! Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
