If you have problems making this connection, contact the vendor of the peripheral

device, as well as the HP website, for the latest versions of the USB drivers. The USB

technology is dynamic and continues to develop.

Attach the USB cable to one of the two USB ports. Windows 98

automatically recognizes the USB device. Some USB devices can be

connected to the port replicator in a series of USB devices as a "daisy-chain"

connection.

You can plug a stereo input source (such as a CD player), an external microphone,

external speakers, or headphones into the audio ports on the port replicator.

Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port.

When you plug a device into the microphone-in port, the computer's built-in

microphone automatically turns off. When you plug a device into the speaker-out

port, its built-in speakers automatically turn off.
