- I have not had any such problems with my docking. I did have some real
- problems with some Shiva software. Most of those problems went away when I
- re-installed System 7.1 from the original disks. You might try the same.
-
- Also, did you have any problems getting the ethernet card into the dock? I
- tried an Apple ethernet card, and a 3com card. Niether one would fit in the
- little opening in the back of the dock. I had to twist off a little screw
- post with a wrench to get it to fit. Why did they make the cutout in the
- back of the dock so small?
