Thanks for the data, I've had very good luck with my 560x with WIN98
Lite and an enhanced port replicator.
Do I understand that a 560x running Win2K might have some problems with
USB through the dock?

I've only got one USB 2.0 device, a 3.5" hard drive case made by
"Rainbow Storage". It works with the 560x and Win98 Lite through the
dock. Beginners luck perhaps?
