If an ISA Computer Is Docked
This section describes what happens when you dock an unsupported
computer that is designed in ISA bus architecture.
Because physical characteristics of the connectors for an
ISA-bus-architecture computer are the same as those for a
PCI-bus-architecture computer, it is possible to dock an incompatible
computer. To protect the computer and the SelectaDock system from
this improper operation, the docking station warns you with the
Attention indicator and beeps. The table summarizes the reactions of
the SelectaDock system when an ISA bus computer is docked.
