ah ! i didnt do the slave thing. but it was a fat drive anyhow (ie - would not fit into the thin slot on the front of the dock II). so i had to put it in the back area (lots of space), but the short ide cable didnt reach, so it was a pain to squirm it in, which i did, but i have subsequently pulled it out. no luck getting a SMC Elite 16 combo to slot into the dock station and get it recognized by windows 95. spent a lot of time configuring the elite 16 thru software, but the device manager would not recognize it. anyone get an ethernet card into the dock II and make it work ? doug On Wed, 15 Nov 1995, Chris Hanson wrote: > Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 19:33:14 -0800 (PST) > From: Doug Fairclough <kensey@wired.com> > > i popped a second ide drive into the dock II ide cable and tried > to get into the bios setting in order to attach it. holding down > the F1 key on boot, i got a menu with a bunch of icons and a > little flighty bird. > > When I added a second IDE drive in my Dock II, it was not necessary to > do anything with the BIOS.
