Easier and lighter is the NewerTech Ethernet MicroDock, but it aint cheaper. If you can even find one, expect to pay $50 or more. I got mine off eBay for about $45, thanks to very careful sniping. It's the pride and joy of my Duo collection, and I guard it with my life!666th poster to the

You only ave 4 options to get ethernet on any Duo. (In increasing size)- NewerTech Etherdock
- NewerTech UltraDock
- Apple MiniDock
- Apple DuoDock II Like cinemafia said, the NewerTech Etherdock is you smallest and best bet. ------------------

Sorry, correction in my earlier, post, I got my NewerTech Etherdock for $35, not $45. However, I wouldn't expect to ever find one that cheap on eBay again. I think the only reason it didn't go higher was because the seller had zero feedback. I took a chance, though, and it worked out nicely.

By the way, I have the Apple MiniDock and it doesn't have ethernet. Is there some other Apple version that does?666th poster to the

Don't think so, Newer had a Mini that had ethernet, but something was missing as I recall (floppy port?), I think it did more pixels than Apple's too. Apple logo doesn't matter, Newer OEM'd 'em all anyway. jt
