Presently my main system is an HP Omnibook 6000 notebook computer. It's got a 700MHz PIII Moble CPU, 256k RAM, a 10G Toshiba HDD.
For the module bay I have a 10G secondary HDD, DVD Player, 3.5" FDD and a secondary Litium-Ion battery.
As a home workstation I have a HP Full Dock which has two PCI slots, two additional PCMCIA slots, one extra USB port, extarnal SCSI-2 connection, easy access to all the notebook ports from the dock (except no 100TX pass-thru) and two 5.25" drive bays which can accomidate SCSI-2, ATA/EIDE and module bay devices.
Currently I use one bay for swapping the DVD and floppy modules and the other for a ZIP-100 drive.
I've partitioned the primary hard drive into six primary partitions of varying sizes, a linux swap paration and a FAT32 'common' partition.
The system can boot PTS-DOS 2000, W95C, W98SE, W2K or debian linux. The remaining primary partition is the PheonixNote Hibernate partition which also has AMI Diagnostics and some other software I added.
Each of the bootable partitions assume the drive letter C: and the FAT32 partition as a common D: volume.
Each run completely unaware of the other and thus I have no 'dual' boot issues for W2K or any other OS.
Since the PTS-DOS is FAT16 I've made the W2K FAT16 also so it could serve as a middle-man to/from PTS-DOS and the FAT32 partitions if needed.
The secondary/module HDD is FAT32 and partitioned as one drive. Typically I use it as a backup repository.
