To use the docking system

Windows 95 is designed to support notebook docks. You can dock or undock the
OmniBook when it is on, off, or in suspend mode in Windows 95. The first time you
dock the OmniBook into a dock it will create a Windows 95 hardware profile. This
allows you to access different hardware while in the dock without rebooting. You can
also set different configuration information for each profile (such as the video resolution).
Each time you dock or undock, the OmniBook will automatically switch between the
docked and undocked hardware profile.
It is possible to have multiple dock hardware profiles. If you dock your OmniBook into
the Port Replicator or Mini Dock it will create one profile for all Docking Solutions of
the same type. The Docking System will create a separate profile each time you insert
your OmniBook into a new Docking system for the first time. Each Docking System
requires a separate docking profile since each Docking System may contain different PCI
Cards and/or SCSI/IDE devices.
The following table describes the possible docking hardware profiles with OmniBook
Docking Solutions.
