To connect USB devices

Windows NT 4.0 does not support universal serial bus (USB) devices.
Windows 95 A (OSR1) does not support universal serial bus (USB) devices.
Universal serial bus (USB) provides a bi-directional serial interface for adding
peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners
on a single bus. The OmniBook provides one USB port; the OmniBook docking
products provide two USB ports.
Attach the USB cable to the USB port. Windows 95 automatically recognizes the
USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the OmniBook in series
with other USB devices—this is called a "daisy-chain" connection.
If you have problems making this connection, contact the vendor of
the peripheral device, as well as the HP website, for the latest versions of the USB
drivers. The USB technology is dynamic and continues to develop.
If the device is not recognized, you may need to install a driver. Contact your device
vendor.
