The power-management and message-management drivers are loaded.
The PC card drivers aren't loaded, so the card slots are not usable.

EDIT. You can use them to examine drive C.

To reset the OmniBook

If the OmniBook unexpectedly hangs up in a state where nothing seems to
work, you may need to reset it. This is the equivalent of turning a PC off and
on. When you reset the system, it discards your current work session, resets
and checks the hardware, and rereads the system files.
1. If the floppy drive is plugged in, make sure there's no disk in it—unless
you're trying to reboot from a floppy disk.
2. Try rebooting the OmniBook by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.
3. Insert a ball-point pen tip or other slender object into the small opening
marked "RESET" on the right side of the computer, near the mouse.
Push in momentarily—the system resets and reboots. Since this is a
hardware reset, it is more complete than the software reset,
CTRL+ALT+DEL.
If the reset button has no effect, remove the battery and ac adapter and
press the reset button—then install the battery or plug in the ac adapter and
try pressing the reset button again.
If the computer responds but does not reboot correctly, see
OmniBook doesn't reboot successfully."
