This isn't quite what I found. The version that comes with System 7.5 is
numbered 1.2, and it did work for this Duo 280 w/8.1. It quits ungracefully
after draining the battery. Version 1.1 comes with the Battery Tools 2.0
disk (which you can download), and also seems to work fine (exiting with a
success message). 1.3 comes with System 7.6, and didn't work for me. This
was with a Type 1 and a (trashed) Type 2.
