I received a Duo 280c today. It came with a Type 1 battery, which, to my understanding, should work fine with the 280c if a little underpowered. Anyway, if I leave the battery in, the Duo won't boot. If I insert it after the 280c has booted, the battery icon in the menubar shows that the battery is fully charged, but then the whole thing shuts down without warning.
Any ideas? I was thinking I could run the Battery Recondition program. Does that work with Duo batteries? It has been a while since my 230 worked last, and I've forgotten most of what I knew about them. Are there any special utilities or battery tools for the Duo series (besides MyBattery and Battery Amnesia, anyway)?
Any tips would be welcome.
On an unrelated note, does the 280c have enough horsepower to play Real Media audio streams? I'd like to do the hack to add a headphone jack (anyone got that link?) and then set it up to play NPR <http://www.npr.org> (best news programming in the US, IMHO)...
