Well, not that I know of. Keep in mind, however, that we haven't even
begun to do any testing with the Book Port 2's, so we don't know what
problems there might be--if any. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
Occasionally, there have been Laptops that didn't work, but the
customers were able to purchase hubs to make it work.

Subject: [bookport] Re: connecting the bookport to the pc
Hello:
There are some instances where the processor and USB port on the PC
is
not compatible with the Book Port. Since we know it works on other
computers, that is likely the case here. The only other thing I
would
suggest is if you have used other storage devices on the new
computer,
such as a digital camera--anything that shows up as a Removable Disk
that would be assigned to f, g, etc., then you may need to reassign
the
drive letter to the Book Port. A good way to test this is to look in
My
Computer or Windows Explorer while the Book Port is connected and see
if
it shows up. If it doesn't, then you need to reassign the drive
letter.
If it does show up, disconnect the Book Port and see if the letter
disappears. The directions for doing this are in the User's Manual.
If
it disappears when you disconnect it, and you haven't used any other
devices that could be causing this, then you have an Incompatible
Chip
Set. The conflict usually occurs with AMD Athlon Chipsets. Since
you
have another PC to use, you may just want to go with that one.
However,
if you want the Book Port to work with this computer, then you'd need
to
go out and purchase a ADPCI card, which essentially gives you
another
USB Port. You would connect the Book Port directly into the port on
the
card.

Hello,
I recently got my new computer. When I had my other computer, I was
able to
connect my bookport to the pc, and everything was fine. However, when
I
got
my new computer, and when I tried to connect my bookport to the pc,
nothing
would happen. I first thought something was wrong with the cable,
but
when
I tried it on other things, it was fine. Is there anything else I
should
do?
Thanks
