I have a Duo 230 (mid-range model of original PowerBook Duos) and an original Duo Dock. They are compatible, and I use them together all the time. You can't put the Duo 230 into the Duo Dock or take it out while the Duo 230 is on, I was curious if later models of PowerBook Duos and Duo Docks were able to do that. Thanks for the info anyways...
