        How to Enable PCMCIA Slots on ThinkPads and Docking Stations
=======================================================================

--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION

After docking a ThinkPad in a Dock II, the system no longer recognizes 
the PCMCIA slots in the ThinkPad, but the slots in the docking station 
are recognized.

RESOLUTION

To enable the two PCMCIA slots in the ThinkPad as well as the two slots 
in the Dock II, change the following line the CONFIG.SYS file, then 
restart the system for the change to take effect:

From:   BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP 

To:     BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:4 /!DM /NOBEEP  

This will allow four drive letters to be allocated and usable when the 
ThinkPad is docked.  

When docked, the docking station slots take precedence over the 
ThinkPad slots. The Docking Station reserves the first two drive 
letters; now, the remaining two drive letters are assigned to the slots 
in the ThinkPad.
