I have a duo 210 that won't boot, and I seem to have lost the floppy drive for it. I want to get access to it so I can fix my finder and system files (played around with them in resedit and swapped them). I need to be able to move the backups of the original files back into the system folder and delete the ones I screwed up. Are there any adapters (scsi to usb etc) I can buy to hook the drive up to my new computer to access them, or do I need to get a floppy drive and system 7.1 install disks?
Back when I still had the floppy drive I booted up with the duo disk tools floppy (now corrupted and unusable) and it wouldn't let me move the files, only look at them.

If you have a dock with a SCSI port, and a PowerBook "SCSI disk adaptor", and a USB-to-SCSI adaptor, then yes.
Just follow the directions on the LEM link, "SCSI Disk Mode" section, only add a new item between 2. and 3. reading "Connect SCSI disk adaptor to USB-to-SCSI adaptor, and plug USB adaptor into USB-equipped computer."
Obviously, since the Duo's hard drive will be in HFS format, you need to be using a Mac, or have HFS drivers installed on your Windows system.
