Installing PC (PCMCIA) Cards
If you plan to use a PC card while your NEC Versa is in the NEC Versa Dock, it
is recommended that you dock the system before installing the card. The IDE
controller inside the NEC Versa Dock uses IRQ11 and if the card is installed
before docking it could cause a resource conflict with the system.
Connecting External Devices
Review the following sections for instructions on connecting external devices to
the NEC Versa Dock.
Serial Device
The NEC Versa Dock is equipped with an industry standard 9-pin RS-232C
serial port. Use this port to install a serial device such as a printer or an external
modem.

appropriate printer driver through the Windows Control
Panel.

Dock.
