- Docking Station 1 (3545-001)
- Docking Station 2 (3546-001)
Docking Station 1 (3545-001):
The Docking Station 1 uses a Future Domain 850 controller. It's default hardware settings are:
- I/O Port: None
- IRQ: 11
- ROM BIOS: CA00-CBFF
You can alter the hardware BIOS settings by using the dip switches. Only the middle two switches are used, the switches are identified as 2-SCSI SW0 3-SCSI SW1.
