Has anyone come across this problem before? A Powerbook 230 user in my
office found it  worked ok in his DuoDock II, fitted with Quantum PLS
240 meg hard drive. He has the oportunity to upgrade to a colleague's PB
280 which was similarly docked.
However when the PB280 is docked in his DuoDock II and on the SCSI bus
with the Quantum docked drive the Mac only 'sees' the dock drive and not
the PowerBook 280 hard drive. If the DuoDock hard drive is then dis-
connected by say removing the data cable then the Mac 'sees' the PB280
hard disk again. This happens for a range of SCSI ID settings on the
Quantum drive.
It appears that there is an incompatibility between the  hard drive in
the PB280 and the Quantum drive in the DuoDock II because the PB280
works fine in other docking stations.
We have tried several other machines including several PB230's, PB250's
and PPC2300- they all work perfectly in the docking station!!
