Gateway 2000 Solo, User Manual

24     The Gateway 2000 Solo Multimedia Notebook

Because the peripherals connect to the unit through the docking bar, the unit
connects to (or disconnects from) them in one step and at only one place: its 120-pin
docking bar port. The docking bar attaches directly to the unit as shown below:

When the docking bar is installed, the docking bar icon lights in the status display
bar. (See page 8.)
