I have a DUO-230, the problem is that I have only a 80Mb
 hard disk (which I can erase). (+8Mb ram).

I have an E-Machines etherdock available, and a full apple dock
 that I think is out of order, but I'll check it again.

I am ready to spend time on it, but I'll need some guidance, 
 and some help. If it'll boot serial, I'll connect the serial port
 to some host, and will let you telnet into it.

But first, before *destroying* it, I would like to know that it will 
 used (for testing).

\Alain.
