OSDIPTDS - HOW TO ENABLE PCMCIA SLOTS ON THINKPADS AND DOCKING STATIONS
10/25/96
=======================================================================
How to Enable PCMCIA Slots on ThinkPads and Docking Stations
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
After docking a ThinkPad in a Dock II, the system no longer recognizes
the PCMCIA slots in the ThinkPad, but the slots in the docking station
are recognized.
RESOLUTION
To enable the two PCMCIA slots in the ThinkPad as well as the two slots
in the Dock II, change the following line the CONFIG.SYS file, then
restart the system for the change to take effect:
From: BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP
To: BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:4 /!DM /NOBEEP
This will allow four drive letters to be allocated and usable when the
ThinkPad is docked.
When docked, the docking station slots take precedence over the
ThinkPad slots. The Docking Station reserves the first two drive
letters; now, the remaining two drive letters are assigned to the slots
in the ThinkPad.
