To connect USB devices

Windows NT 4.0 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 and Windows 98 automatically recognize 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 Hewlett-Packard, for the latest versions of the USB
drivers. The USB technology is dynamic and continues to develop.
USB is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup utility.
