- No, you can't dock/undock the Duo when it's in the SCSI disk mode,
- since the only "legal" times are when it's turned off and when it's
- asleep. Also, since the disk mode code run completely out of the
- Duo's ROM, nothing (like system 7, the Finder, etc.) have been loaded
- from the disk, so you'd have to restart anyway to be able to use it
- in the "normal" mode...
