[Duo2400] Re: 2300C won't boot in Duo Dock or Duo Dock Plus-Need more help!

[Art Rice]

Thanks for the input Ben!
1) There are no Nubus cards installed in either Duo
Dock.
2) The bus connector on the Duo 2300c looks OK from
the outside.
3) There are SCSI terminators in both Duo Docks.
Unfortunately, I don't have a CD-ROM drive to try out.
I may have to take apart the Duo 2300C and check the
solder connections to the bus connector (I'm a little
wary of doing that, but I just replaced the PRAM
battery, so at least I know I can get it apart and
back together again!)
