leaving the computer and the UltraBase unit still connected by Windows 2000. • If an ISA or Plug-and-Play-ISA adapter card is installed on an IBM SelectaDock-II or SelectaDock-III docking station, Windows 2000 will not support dynamic docking and undocking. ISA add-on devices in the docking station will only work when you perform a cold dock. This is a design limitation of Windows 2000. Non Plug-andPlay-ISA add-on devices will not be supported under Windows 2000. Also, if an ISA or Plug-and-Play-ISA add-on adapter is installed on an IBM SelectaDock-II or SelectaDock-III docking station, Windows 2000 will not support Standby and Hibernation. When the computer returns either from Standby or Hibernation while docked, the ISA add-on device installed in the docking station will not function afterwards. • CardBus devices inserted into the PC Card slots on the SelectaDock-II docking station will not be supported under Windows 2000. When a ThinkPad 600 or ThinkPad 770 Series computer is docked to a SelectaDock-II, no CardBus devices installed on the docking side will function. This is due to a hardware design limitation of the SelectaDock-II. The PCI interrupt routing for CardBus devices for this docking station is unavailable for this hardware, so the operating system cannot process the PCI interrupt from the CardBus card. This is a permanent limitation due to docking hardware design. No such limitation exists on the SelectaDock-III docking station when running Windows 2000. • If you dock your ThinkPad to a SelectaDock-II or SelectaDock-III docking station, the "Crystal WDM Game Port" device will be marked with a yellow exclamation point in the Device Manager menu. Windows 2000 does this by design, because there is only one game port resource available to the system. When the computer is docked, the system BIOS configures this resource to the game port device located on the docking station rather than the one on the system-unit. You can still attach a game port device to the docking station. • When an IDE device, such as a hard disk drive, or CD-ROM or DVD -ROM drive, needs to be used in the SelectaDock-III docking station with a ThinkPad 600 or 770 Series model, the I/O resource and IRQ for the IDE device must be assigned to the legacy secondary IDE channel: I/O=170h-17fh,;IRQ=15. This requirement is by design of the IDE controller located in the docking station. After you configure the IDE device used to the secondary IDE mode, devices located in the swappable bay must be reconfigured as the primary slave. The ThinkPad Configuration Utility program provides a menu option for setting the resources of the IDE devices on the docking station. Please refer to the Windows 2000 Hints and Tips section of this document for information on how to enable an IDE device on the docking station.

installed on the docking side will function.
This is due to a hardware design
