> The PowerBook Duo 2300c/100 was released in 1995, the same year as
> its full-size sibling, the PowerBook 5300 series. These were the
> first portable PowerPC computers to be marketed by Apple. The Duo's
> PowerPC 603e CPU was designed for a 64-bit bus, but engineered by
> Apple to run on an older 32-bit bus to maintain compatibility with
> the earlier manufactured, Duo Docks. Potential system and video
> performance of this PPC Macintosh perhaps suffered because of this
> design decision.
>
> PowerBook Duos lacked most common ports (featuring only one internal
> printer/modem serial port and an optional fax/modem card port). In
> their place was docking ability, accomplished via a unique 156-pin
> Processor Direct Slot (PDS) giving the docks full access to the
> Duo's central processing unit (CPU) and data buses.
>
> Several dock options were offered by Apple and third parties:
>  Duo Dock, Dock II, Duo Dock Plus
>  Mini Dock
>  Micro Dock
