Question: I have an extra-tall Toshiba multimedia notebook computer. Will the NoteBoard fit over my computer?

Answer: Yes. The NoteBoard's adjustable feet fit over all notebook computers, even the tallest multimedia notebooks. For incredibly tall notebooks that are used with port replicators, we offer special foot extenders at no cost. The foot extenders increase the height of the NoteBoard even more.

Question: Can I get a PS/2 mouse instead of a serial mouse?

Answer: Yes, if your computer has two PS/2 ports. Since the NoteBoard also plugs into a PS/2 port, if you want to use a PS/2 mouse you must have TWO PS/2 ports on your notebook. If your notebook computer has two PS/2 ports and you want a PS/2 mouse instead of a serial mouse, we will provide one at no extra cost. When ordering through our Web Site or over the telephone, just include a comment that you would prefer a PS/2 mouse.

Question: Will the NoteBoard work with my IBM Thinkpad?

Answer: Yes, the NoteBoard works with all PC-compatible notebooks. However, if you have a ThinkPad, you will need an adapter in order to connect the NoteBoard (or ANY external keyboard, for that matter). (IBM sells this adapter for $40). THIS ADAPTER IS NOT NEEDED FOR ANY OTHER BRANDS OF NOTEBOOKS.
