Advanced Port Replicator will be undocked, leaving the computer and the UltraBase unit still connected by Windows Me. Tips for docking station support on ThinkPad models 600, 600E and 600X: • If you dock your ThinkPad to a SelectaDock-II or SelecaDock-III docking station, the "Crystal SoundFusion™ Game Port" or "Gameport Joystick" device will be marked with a yellow exclamation point in the Device Manager menu. Windows Me 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. Disable the "Crystal SoundFusion™ Game Port" at Device Manager to avoid the resource conflict. You can still attach a game port device to the docking station. Tips for docking station support on ThinkPad models A20m, A20p, T20 and X20: • Prior to performing any kind of docking, it is required to install the latest CMD Ultra DMA IDE driver for DOS, Win95/98/NT4/2K.
