Hi Phillip
I guess this will be my last post on this -- I need to get some stuff done:). See below.

On both the 100 and 110 1.1 usb is native. you just need to plug in a connector to the docking port plug.
I got no docking station, just the port replicator :-(
you don't need the dock. if you check the 100 maintence manual it shows the pinout for the usb. you just need to connect to those four pins and you have it.
Sure, but how? in practice? Wasn't there supposed to be an extra chip in the dock to add the full USB capacity? And isn't there any buffering needed on the EPR/dock connector? I remember some discussion on this in the list a year or so ago.
The usb support is in the I/O ? GA. It isn't supported under Windows from what I've seen neither 2000 or XP sees it. The linux alternative driver does uhbc I think its called. There isn't the buffering drivers--for a hotswappable setup you would need to install those (being able to plug and unplug the cable with poweron) but its there.
You don't need the whole dock--just the connector. Under linux you can turn on and off the connector normaqlly without the dock being engaged.And.... all operating systems I've installed on my Lib (with just an EPR) never ever detected any USB. If only a connector would be lacking, I'd think at least some USB components would have been detected.
.....<long snip> :- max 2 MB video memory and max 64 MB RAM apparently were quite reasonable in 1998, but a stupid 16-bit ISA bus for IDE while PCI was firmly established in 1997 or so, polled IRQ for the PCMCIA slots, buggy ACPI and buggy BIOS int13 extensions are simply technical deficits.
true..however::::)))there once again is the dock. It has a connection on the pci buss. Now an ingenous person could do a little rigging and provide a pci IDE hard drive port::::::::))))). the ram can be upgraded although edo is pretty much finished buthere is still some availible in sticks and such. a lot of old equipment still uses it.
That would be a very clever trick...... Time for everyone to try to get a docking station? Although lugging that around is a bit of a hassle....
