Vanessa The battery will charge when your Duo is plugged in or docked! So long as you have a battery in it and it is seated well ( making contact ). If the battery will not charge then it maynot be making contact or it maybe faulty. If the printer is cross platform you should be able to use it! Does the duo have an internal modem? You can use the printer port for an external modem! Be sure to check the port settings. You can also use a port expander to use the pronter port for a modem and a printer at the same time! As for the cannon printer I have no Idea I would try to network it if it is not cross platform, do you have another computer around to try that on? You can download the Manuals from apple in PDF format although some of them are quite large! I could send them to you as down loads but I have no Idea if Juno does that!

Is that true. And I would also like to get internet access on it, but don't have a clue as to check the modem that is already on there to see if it still works and not having a floppy drive don't know what I would need to put on the Powerbook to then get access to the internet. > If anyone out there can help me please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Thanks > Vanessa ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
