Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

Multilink requires multiple modems. Some Armada notebooks include an integrated modem while others do not. At a minimum a
second PC Card or serial modem is required to take advantage of Multilink.
40
Integrated USB is supported on selected models beginning in 2Q98. Models without integrated USB require optional USB
hardware such as the Compaq USB PC Card.
41
Multiple Monitor Support requires multiple video controllers. Only some Armada products feature a dual video controller
architecture that enables this feature. Compaq notebook families listed as not supporting Windows 98 multiple monitor features may
support it using a second video card in a docking station. For the purposes of this table, only those notebooks capable of supporting
the feature without a second video card were noted as such.
42
ACPI is supported under Windows 98 on selected Armada portable families but requires an ACPI-enabled BIOS. Check
www.compaq.com/support to determine if the BIOS installed on your Armada model supports ACPI or if a BIOS upgrade is required.

The Armada 6500 has ClientWORKS, which offers similar functionality.
