I'll go looking for one...though I'm getting increasingly shy of ebay (where I bought this battery). Any thoughts as to how I can resurrect the hard drive in my duo dock that this battery has apparently somehow killed? It's completely disappeared off my desktop. Norton's found it last night, called it damaged and could not repair it. Today, even Norton's can't find it. The OS is having trouble recognising the floppy drive in the dock as well. My next step is to reinstall my system software onto the 280c drive, as I'm theorizing that perhaps the disk drivers have been corrupted. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Steve sbsharpe at dramex.org
