Subject: Re: [LIB] Hot docking or not ...
If you're using Win98, you need download Toshiba's lil utility that uploads
the USB device driver when you undock the APR (or EPR). On Windows 2000, it
works fine. However, the documentation comes with my EPR suggest that I
should shutdown before docking/undocking the EPR to avoid the potential
damage to the interface circuit. I always dock/undock my lib while in
standby (as I NEVER shutdown the machine). But the device recognition works
no matter what I do.

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.

the other ...
