I guess we should hear what Daishi did. ??

What is the mini-doc? Is that the litle thing that just clips onto the back?
I'm not sure if this kernel was used w/ a mini-doc or a full doc. Part of
the problem might be that Apple moved the I/O addresses around. Also, we
re-arrange the I/O map at a certain point, so if the serila ports are in a
non-standard place, we might not move them around correctly.

External SCSI disks don't work on the full dock as it seems there are two
serial busses.

This unit has both serial ports? Some devices have had just one or the other.

The modem's tty00, and the printer's tty01. Try just one, and maybe try a
different doc (if possable).

What experience have other folks had?

Take care,
