How do I make the Toshiba pa2701u docking station

cdrom (instead of the floppy)? There are two ISA slots in it.
Use an ISA generic drivercard and then? disable the floppy addresses and the
serial and the IDE1 so as to have no conflict with the laptop addresses?
When I wanted a CD-ROM in a Toshiba docking station, I went with SCSI. an
Adaptec ISA SCSI card and a Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM. It worked great. for a
few hours. then the power supply in the docking station died. People
told me that the power supply can't handle that much load! But how much
more load is that than a floppy drive and a network card (the most common
configuration for the docking station)? Is it THAT close to the edge?
Anybody know how to get into that durned box without a
key? With a drill?
Cavemen!
It is not a very hard lock to pick, or if there's no floppy drive in
it,
can you reach the backside of the lock to undo its mounting hardware (I
don't have one handy right now to look)?
