El Macintosh Duo Dock

La Macintosh Duo Dock, una estación de acoplamiento para PowerBook 230 fabricada por Apple Computer y lanzada el 19 de octubre de 1992. Un motor permitía al PowerBook acoplarse con un conector de 152 pines. Todos los puertos, unidades y ranuras de expansión de la base serían accesibles mediante el dispositivo PowerBook Duo NuBus. El PowerBook se expulsaba presionando un botón de y se podia usar como una computadora portátil normal. #retrocomputingmx #apple #duodock #powerbook230

Lighter-weight PowerBooks (that had to add most of the ports you were counting on through sold-separately “docks,” ranging up to a desktop box with an additional hard drive and expansion slots that would load and eject the portable like a videocassette) were the main event on this issue’s cover, with Apple’s other new hardware squeezed off to the side. Gift ideas inexpensive by comparison also got mentioned.

A Duo Dock showed up in Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment on TV, but that piece of expansion hardware was purchased in the real world as well. (I found the first frame in Rick Worley’s video “How to Watch Star Wars, Part One”; the second is from the bonus features disc of the Phantom Menace DVD.)

Macworld December 1992

A plethora of PowerBooks lined up on this issue’s cover (although with the Macintosh IIvx, a rebadged Performa 600 reversing the path that had named the two cheaper Performas, also included the midrange PowerBook 160 didn’t get shown). Four pages inside ran through Apple’s current lineup of Macs (although Adrian Mello’s editorial, in contemplating the glimmering possibility of people using portables exclusively rather than desktop computers, supposed the older Macintosh IIci and IIsi weren’t long for the market). Steven Levy assembled his annual Game Hall of Fame, even if his regular column was an uneasy reflection on how complicated the Macintosh Finder had got over close to nine years of life, prompted by an Apple training-wheels program called At Ease. (“You can’t do much of anything, and you know why? It’s a shell. A shell for the Finder!”) The “Your Computer Revealed” feature concluded with a look at peripherals.
