Docking System, you must change the mouse type in Windows
Setup.

the mouse type to Mouse System Serial.
2. Restart Windows. (If prompted for the mouse driver,
type the C:\MASTERS. This will be the path suggested in the
dialog box. (If the software is NOT the default Hewlett-
Packard load, type A:\ and insert the requested Windows for
Workgroups installation floppy disk.)
3. To reactivate the built-in mouse, use Windows Setup to
change the mouse type to Microsoft Or IBM PS/2.
