This article describes the features of the Macintosh Duo Dock.

Overview

The Macintosh Duo Dock provides expansion capabilities for the Macintosh PowerBook Duo computers.

The Duo Dock allows you to connect your PowerBook Duo to a complete desktop system -- which can include a large color display, an extended keyboard, a mouse, and other peripherals -- and provides expansion card capabilities and connections to your network and network servers.

Apple's new PowerLatch docking technology ensures easy, automatic docking between the Macintosh PowerBook Duo and the Duo Dock, so there is no need to plug and unplug cables or to reconfigure the system each time you insert the PowerBook Duo into the Duo Dock.
