SUMMARY
Although the Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) does not specify
any compatible docking stations for laptop or notebook computers, these
devices should work correctly with Windows NT.
MORE INFORMATION
Because a docking station is really just an extension of the system bus,
any system that is listed on the Windows NT HCL should function properly
under Windows NT with the docking station attached.
Please note, however, that adapters installed in a docking station should
be selected from among those listed in the HCL as compatible, just as with
any other system.
Additionally, if Windows NT is configured with optional adapters installed
in a docking station, then is later used away from the docking station,
error messages may be displayed at startup when Windows NT is unable to
locate those devices. Aside from these messages, normal operation should be
unaffected.
