Using the MIDI/Joystick Port
The SelectaDock III system provides a MIDI/joystick port as a
functional replacement for the same port on the computer. The MIDI
signals through this port are sent directly the computer's MIDI port.
Therefore, if your computer does not have a MIDI port, you cannot
use the MIDI feature.
The SelectaDock III system has a game controller for the joystick.
Even if your computer does not have a game controller, the
controller in the SelectaDock system is available and takes control
through the ThinkPad Configuration program. When you use a
joystick connected to the SelectaDock system, you must enable the
game feature with the ThinkPad Configuration program.
To use the MIDI/joystick port, do the following:
1
Turn off the computer, and remove the power cord from the
SelectaDock system.
2
Connect a MIDI connector or a joystick cable to the port.
3
Connect the other end of the cable to a MIDI equipment
connector or a joystick.
