Which ac adapter do I use with the docking system? If you use your OmniBook with a docking system, be sure to use the docking system's ac adapter (HP model F1140A) to power the docking system. The OmniBook's ac adapter isn't designed for this use.
Questions for Windows 95 Why does Windows 95 create a new docked configuration each time I insert my OmniBook into a new docking system? Each OmniBook Docking System has a unique hardware ID. Windows 95 automatically sets up a configuration for each docking system you use. This allows you to access different hardware in each docking system and even to set different video resolutions.
Why do I get a network error when docking for the first time? If you have installed Windows 95A on the OmniBook 2000/5700 it is possible to see a network error if a new docked configuration is created at the same time a new network card is installed.
2. Add DEVICE=DOCKBOOT.EXE /n to the beginning of the CONFIG.SYS (where n = the number of the docked configuration). Whenever you dock the OmniBook and reboot, the docking configuration is chosen automatically. This driver is NOT necessary to dock the OmniBook. It is used only with a multi-boot (booting options) configuration.
