While you’re using an external mouse, you can’t use the built-in OmniBook mouse—unless you check the box for “Ignore external pointing device”, in the External Device Settings screen in User Tools (Windows95), or on the Input Devices tab in OmniBook Tools (Windows for Workgroups). Using the Docking System If you purchase a docking system, your OmniBook becomes even more convenient whenever you work at your desk. By making one connection— plugging your OmniBook into the docking system—you can get convenient access to these types of connections: • Floppy drive. • Printer or other parallel device (25-pin). • Modem or other serial device (9-pin). • External CD-ROM drive or other SCSI II device.
• Network access and other types of ISA and PCI boards (in the expansion-board slot). • External keyboard. • External mouse. • External display. • Stereo sound output (to headphones or speakers). • Power (ac adapter). If you use the docking system with a 101/102-key keyboard, a mouse, and an external display, your OmniBook is transformed into a “desktop workstation.” When you work at your desk, you can use a standard keyboard, mouse, and display—all tied into your OmniBook. In addition, with a network connection, you can tap into the services available on your local network.
