Umm ... the dock is only a big PDS card for the Duo. You can't run a dock,
period, without a Duo inserted. The processor is in the Duo which the dock
accesses directly (Processor Direct Slot). Any G3/G4 card would have to tap
into this bus, which theoretically should be quite easy to do. Now that I think
about it, one could, in theory, simply tap into the dock's connector and add a
7100 PDS connector inside the dock (like in an empty NuBus slot), then simply
plug the upgrade card in as if the dock were a 7100.
