I'm having a few headaches regarding hot docking of the L100 to and from the advanced port replicator. I found that I MUST warm or cold dock the libby but I MUST hot or cold undock it. To dock the L100 I need to either shut it down or suspend or hibernate first, then dock, then resume otherwise it doesn't detect the APR (but it squeals at me if I remove it). Power connects though so I'm sure its docked right as far as hardware goes. To undock, I need to either shut down or go start>undock, let it do its job (which apparently also turns off the APR as the 'eject your computer now' screen just flashes up then goes away) then undock. Curiously, after this operation it recons it has 3 PCMCIA slots (normaly when docked it recons it has 4 and when powered up from undocked state it recons it has 2). If I suspend/hibernate before undocking, undock then resume, the computer never makes it out of suspend/hibernation and requires a hard reset. Is this consistent with anyone else's observations? Anyone managed to do a proper hot-dock or warm-undock operation with this laptop? It just seems a little inconsistent that you MUST do it hot one way and you MUST do it warm the other ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
