Remind me this weekend to take a pic, but basically, I bought a small 
surfboard (a blank PCB with a few contacts - from digikey) and I 
pulled the female PRAM socket froma dead Duo motherboard.  I cut the 
trace leading to the battery that usually gets charged, so all the 
Duo sees is the cell that is normally undercharged.  Its just a unit 
that goes between the Duo motherboard and the battery.
