[DuoList] Oft-asked question whither: SCSI Disk Mode in a Dock II goes at all

[Daniel Palka]

Ya know it's strange.  I just noticed that my Dock II does in fact have 
AAUI, just like my Dock Plus.

The Dock Plus video benchmarks a hair higher than the Dock II though.  
Also, the dates still stand (the plus really did replace the II).
