including the following:
♦ Using Windows NT 4.0 on a notebook PC.

To use Windows NT 4.0 on a notebook PC
Windows NT 4.0 is not Advanced Power Management (APM) aware or Plug and Play
(PnP) compatible. If you are not using the Windows NT 4.0 OmniBook Mobile
Enhancements, the following will occur:
• PC Cards (PCMCIA) cannot be hot swapped into any laptop with Windows NT.
Windows NT 4.0 does not support dynamic allocation of resources. PC Cards
must be inserted into the unit before booting.
• PC Card sockets are not enabled after resuming. PC Cards are inoperable after a
true suspend then resume cycle. Rebooting restarts the sockets.
• The operating system’s clock is stopped when suspended and does not re-
synchronize with the hardware clock when resuming. When users resume NT’s
clock starts up exactly where it was when they suspended. Rebooting resets the
clock.
To use the OmniBook 3000 Port Replicator
The OmniBook 3000 Port Replicator has the same ports as the OmniBook 3000. You
can dock and undock the OmniBook 3000 while Windows NT 4.0 is running there is
no reason to restart the OmniBook. If you display does not activate immediately
press Fn-F5.
