I just got mine (DOCK 2) to facilitate loading CD-ROM software and to
open up connectivity via ISA slots and SCSI.  I have loaded Win95
and Plus using it.  I've got so much new stuff (and a new job)
that I haven't had time to figure out how to exploit it, YET!

I have a Syquest drive that I use thru a parallel port SCSI that
I'd like to connect.  I need the cable to connect the external
scsi of the dock to a real scsi-2 connector and its not clear where
or how to order this cable.  I admit that I haven't RTFM.

Can we put cheap IDE drives in dock2?  Do we need to tie up
an ISA slot to do it and are there special settings to avoid
conflict with the C: drive's controller?

All this stuff will have to wait till I get Mwave working in
win95.  I think it's just upgrading to the >16 Meg Mwave driver
support, but I'm not there yet.  I'm also getting "Error writing
to drive C:" messages despite daily scandisk runs.  Could be
a flakey drive, a flakey new operating system, a flakey connection,
etc.  These will need to be fixed before DOCK 2 play.
