Hardware Requirements for IBM systems:

ThinkPad 760E/ED/EL/ELD/XD/XL (with IBM SelectaDock Base Model I)
ThinkPad 765D/L (with IBM SelectaDock Base Model I)
ThinkPad 770 (with IBM SelectaBase 770)
ThinkPad 600

Hardware Requirements for Non-IBM systems:
No information available

Supported Operating Systems:

DOS
Microsoft Windows 3.1, Microsoft Windows 95

Compatibility: UltraBay requires the ThinkPad 760 UltraBay Options Tray for SelectaDock III to use 760 options.

Limitations:
When using a ThinkPad 770 and SelectaBase 770 attached to a SelectaDock I or II, the system AC adapter must be connected to the SelectaBase 770.

The SelectaDock III USB ports are not supported by the version of Windows 95 preloaded on the ThinkPad 760 and 765 systems.

When using the ThinkPad 770 with SelectaDock III, you should not disable the USB ports in SelectaDock III. Doing so may cause the system to hang when you attempt to warm-dock the system to the SelectaDock III. You can recover from this by doing a cold-boot of the system.

The 32-bit CardBus feature of SelectaDock III is not supported for ThinkPad 760 and 765 systems. PCMCIA Release 2.1 cards are supported for these systems.

When using the SCSI storage device (CD drive or HDD drive) with the secondary IDE or third IDE device, the SCSI drive will not appear after Re-Hot docking. (Cold bott => Hot undock => Hot docking) This is a Windows 95 restriction. To avoid this, it is required to fix the drive letters of the SCSI device by setting "Reserved Drive Letters" in the device manager. 1. Cold boot 2. Open device manager 3. Double click "Disk Drives" icon 4. Double click "Drive" icon 5. Click "Setting" tab in the Drive Property window 6. Set the drive letter in "Reserved Drive Letters" box. If the "Reserved Drive Letters" area grayed out, click "Removable" check box and repoot. After this, follow the same sequence of actions again starting with open device manager.

A PCI Video Adapter Card and PCI Network Adapter Card cannot be used at the same time in the SelectaDock III.

When the system is resumed from Standby Mode, Hot Plug/Unplug of PCMCIA Release 2.1 Network Cards in the SelectaDock III PC Card Slots is not supported.

When docked ot ThinkPAd 770, SelectaDock III does not support hot/warm docking in DOS and Windows 3.1.

Even though the SelectaDock III system can support either external or internal diskette drives, you can only use one at a time.

The SelectaDock III system does not support the Refresh signal for an ISA bus when the computer is attached. Therefore, the following ISA adapter cards are not supported: IBM MultiPort Card, IBM MultiPort 2 Card, DRAM memory cards, ISA cards that use the refresh signal to detect whether the bus is working, ISA cards that use the refresh signal as a clock counter.

Suspend and resume functions:

Not supported when you dock the ThinkPad 760 or 765 in the SelectaDock III system.
If you are using DOS or Windows 3.1, the suspend and resume functions are not supported if an ASPI8IBM.SYS (SCSI) driver is loaded.
If you are using Windows 95, the suspend and resume functions are not supported when an AIC-7860 (SCSI) driver is loaded by Windows 95 and if it is enabled by the device manager (when the checkbox is selected).
The suspend and resume functions are not supported if an adapter card or PC card is installed in a card slot in the SelectaDock III.

When the I/O resources X'330' to X'333' are allocated to an adapter card installed in the SelectaDock system with the ThinkPad 760EL and 760L docked, you must disable the ESS function (audio) by using the ThinkPad Configuration program.

The Wake on LAN feature requires a WOL-enabled network card available optionally from IBM.
