TP 701 - Hot-Plug of the Multiport

Applicable to: World-Wide

Question:
Can Multiport hot-dock in both the DOS/WIN and OS/2 environment? Someone tried to hot-dock it in the DOS/WIN environment and found that it seems to be okay, however, what about in the OS/2.

Answer:
Only support warm-dock of the Multiport. No hot docking is allowed even though it MAY work, be aware that it is not SUPPORTED. To attach and remove under OS/2 (in fact, even in the DOS/WIN environment), boot with the Multiport attached and removed as needed.
