- Amazing foodJaleung09Dined on 11/22/2014Fantastic meats to try out! You guys should check out!! There are amazing food buffet as well! This restaurant is in smart code but should be semi-business/formal code but still wonderful restaurant and great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- awesome food, a bit busyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014some of the tables were not placed in a way that you could enjoy yourself. we saw one table where 2 couples asked to be moved right away as the chair went into a busy walkway. the meat was all cooked to perfection and service was very quick and friendly. the salad bar was excellent and having a nice hard cheese out was a first for me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overcooked meatsandrac148Dined on 11/21/2014Almost every piece of meat brought to us was overcooked - some pure brown in colour. The bacon wrapped chicken was so dried out we thought there was bones in it. The salad bar is not great. We just didn't enjoy it.. when they sliced the meat it was huge slabs instead of small slices..including the pineapple, just a huge plank of pineapple on my plate.. there is another Brazillian steakhouse that does a MUCH better job located in Niagara. Having said that, the server was very nice and did a good job.
- Second time hereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/20/2014I love the food here, and as a Brazilian from the area of Brazil where this kind of food originates, I can say it is legitimate. Went on a wednesday, no wait, quick service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner ReviewVanandFranDined on 11/16/2014My husband and I went here for our wedding anniversary and it was fabulous! I had made reservations online using OpenTable so I indicated that it would be our first visit and that we were celebrating our anniversary. The meat selection was fantastic, as was the salad/hot table bar. The server was attentive and informative. At the end of our meal we were surprised with a piece of chocolate cake with berries (delicious) and two forks, and the waiter wished us Happy Anniversary! I thought it was an amazing touch! We were seated by the window and had a nice view of the snow falling outside, it was romantic. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, the meat was outstanding and the grilled pineapple was incredible!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014Our waiter Francesco was great and we loved our meal. We will go back!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Salad barJaydogVIPDined on 11/10/2014Our party of 4 really enjoyed our Brazillian experience. The service and food were quite good. Interestingly we all agreed after that we wished we had done a second (or third) pass through the salad bar rather than eat as much meat as we did. My recomendation is don't try and sample all 12 grill items but pick 3-4 and check out some of the salad bar items. Absolutely the best thing of all was the grilled pineapple !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousNooniemommDined on 11/7/2014Everything was delicious. The meats were cooked to perfection. The grilled pineapple is a must try, even if you don't think you like pineapple. There was live music, so it was loud, but enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good but priceyhotmammaDined on 10/27/2014Every meat taste different each time sometimes too over cook sometimes too rare and the meat can very drySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wished for more intimaciHinataDined on 10/26/2014My man and I were there to celebrate an occasion. Which I have told the restaurant and asked them to try and find me a more intimate spot for our dinner but instead was seated in the middle of everything but I still enjoyed my stay and the food was deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentwelltraveledDined on 10/20/2014The salad bar was "huge" and very tastey. I would have been happy with just "it"....but the meats were tender, flavourable and worth having. I enjoyed the 3 hours I spent here and the food was delicious!Special Features:
- Great as alwaysMitchGVIPDined on 10/18/2014This is not my first visit to Brasa, and it will not be my last. It is on my favourite restaurants list for a reason! I was worried when I found out that the head Goucho left, but was happy to see that the quality of both the food and service has not gone down. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very so soCarewingDined on 10/9/2014went to this restaurant cause of all the great reviews out there for this place. but it was def a disappointed experience. food choices were very little and it was way too salty. it cost almost $50 buck per person. will not go again.
- Not badSpongeDined on 10/8/2014Great for trying different cuts of beef, chicken, but lacking in choice of items on the buffetSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anar4Dined on 10/4/201430 minutes wait for seating, overpriced and meat selection was not very good, never received the chicken and i did request it several times.
- Poorly ManagedrakeDined on 9/28/2014We are family of 4 and wanted to try a Brazilian Steakhouse. The food was good but Brasa did not have enough staff to cover tables. The service was poor. The drink orders were wrong and they never corrected them. Our server was covering about 50 people. When we discussed the issue with manager, she indicated they had a great number of walk-ins. It is poorly managed and staffed. For the cost, we should have opted for Ruth Chris. It was a bad experience and I hate it is how we ended our trip.
- AstroDined on 9/26/2014Delicious salad bar. Amazing service. All the meat was succulent except for the parmesan encrusted pork chops. I found them to be a little dry. Overall I would definitely recommend this dinning experience to my family and friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome ExperienceCanada2014Dined on 9/18/2014From the moment we walked in the staff was so friendly and attentive to our group. We had one member that required a gluten free diet and they were especially careful to make sure she was accommodated.Special Features:

- Awesome! $42.50 pp great quality!kimberlyDined on 8/25/2014We were at a Brazilian steak house last Nov. In Manoud Brazil and Brasa was exactly the same but better becauee it was less salty. The bottom sirloin was melt in your mouth heaven and the grilled pineapple is a must. Go hungry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hot spot, great meatfanloverDined on 8/20/2014I was at Brasa restaurant second time . First time at our 15 years anniversary and I was totally surprised, all kinds of meat I tried was excellent and I`m not meat lover ! My husband said , he need an extra space in stomach. The grilled pineapple is the best dessert I ever had! At Wednesday we went second time. Restaurant was more quiet and not so busy like around the Christmas. All food at the buffet was good and fresh, enough selection of salads and dressings all meat excellent like first time , very good red dry wine and also service. Our visitor from Europe said " I never ever eat such a good beef meat like here"! And I agree!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great meat but...SteamedhamsDined on 8/2/2014We ate here on the long August weekend, the salad bar area was decent, a lot of "hopefully they will full up on the cheap stuff" quality of salad items and cold cuts. Tey mean was rally good besides the chocken(dry) my only complaint is we went into the meal assuming the rate was $40 all you can eat. To our surprise it was $47.50 with a note "special holiday weekend rate" so not only does the long weekend bring in a huge amount of business but they have to jack up the rates....for food nonetheless, I understand. Why hotels do this but reataurants....that's greedy. No where eleae we ate had any "special" rates. Great food, bad policy...how many people do you think Iv told this story to? A lot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not very goodBrianDined on 8/1/2014Most of restaurant has a great ambience, but our table was located on the raised level on left. Definitely a spot to avoid, poor view and lacks the very nice feel of the main level. While entertainment was good, the music is located at the entrance of the restaurant and can only be seen from a handful of tables. I was expecting the entertainment to be a fun part of the night, but that didn't materialize, we couldn't see it at all from our seats and could barely hear it. Service was pleasant but not attentive. Had to cancel both some wine and pass on dessert as a result of lengthy delays in service. I took a group to another Brazilian Steakhouse in NF last year, Copacabana, and it was much better....great entertainment and lost of fun.

- Lots of food!!!BadourseDined on 7/25/2014Salad bar was a pleasant surprise, offering a variety of foods that can be appreciated by the most picky palate. The gauchos were consistently walking around the restaurant, providing a variety of meats, all cooked perfectly. It's easy to get full really quickly, so we paced ourselves accordingly. Still our stomachs were full faster than we wanted :) Topping off the meat extravaganza was the grilled pineapple, dressed in cinnamon. Wow! Just loved it!Special Features:
- Bring your appetiteCygnus2000Dined on 7/22/2014I was impressed with not just the meat but the quality and good selection on the salad bar. The meats were generally great. They cams around frequently. The server was attentive and asked if there was something we wanted to try and hadn't yet or wanted another round of something. The folks were generally nice but the hostess had originally put us in a corner with no views of the city, directly adjacent to the salad bar. We did get moved so that we could enjoy looking out over the city (restaurant is at a high vantage point), but the move needed an approval by management which was sort of weird. We had two adults and two kids, had a few beers shared a couple of desserts and I had a coffee. It ran right at $200 after a 20 % tip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Definite DestinationKellDined on 7/20/2014We had been to Brasa four years ago when we were in Niagara Falls then, and we made sure to come back when we came to the Falls this year. The experience was slightly different now that we have two children, but staff were very understanding and extremely helpful. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it is somewhere special that absolutely cannot be missed when you're in the Falls! The food is done to perfection every time, and the Brazilian culture experienced while you're there is authentic. Love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just like in Brazil2013findDined on 7/18/2014We've been hankering for that lovely skewered meat ever since a trip to Brazil in 2004. Who knew we'd find it in Niagara Falls ON? Perfect.Special Features:
- Mediocre...but expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/9/2014If you want to gorge on meat, this is the place to go. The salad bar is not as good as other Brazilian steakhouses I've been to in Toronto. The meat selection is ok. Nothing was so good that I wanted to have more. It's just different cuts of beef cooked the same way and sliced differently. If you're hungry, then this is the place to go. If you're after quality, there are better places to spend your money.
- Great for meat lovers!citygirlbessieDined on 7/4/2014We've eaten at several Brazilian steakhouses before. This one was not the best but met our needs. There are not lots of options in Niagara Falls. The food quality was fine, but it was just missing something...I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but NoisyGoodbutLoudDined on 7/3/2014The food was great but when we were there the noise level was high, many kids were around us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I wont go backstewmarDined on 6/30/2014Meal too pricy, $ 136.33 with taxes and tip. The meal is one price we don't rink so that includes 2 club sodas and 2 poorly made double espresso. We have been to a real churrascaria in Brazil and this was a disappointment.Special Features:
- Good food - subpar serviceCourrtneyMDDined on 6/21/2014The meats that eventually made it to our plates were delicious!! The ribs were cooked too much for our taste, but the other cuts were fantastic!! Though it was a salmon night, we never saw salmon in being there for over an hour and a half. It seems that many of the barseros (meat servers) were hiding as there would be times that there was no meat of any kind around. The location is great to nearly all of the top hotels on Fallsview and this place is the best bang for your buck if you're looking for a great meal and have the time to both experience all of the flavors, and wait for them to eventually come around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DaladyDined on 6/15/2014I alway like the pineapple, thought the meat was a bit over cookedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Looking forward to our next visit!ThedishDined on 6/7/2014Outstanding service and exceptional food. My wife and I are sure to be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food In A CrowdPaulDined on 6/6/2014The food was great. The buffet was huge and excellent and was refreshed constantly. The meats were wonderful and ample. The only issue is that there were two huge groups (we were told that one was 150 people) which made access to the buffet challenging. However, I would recommend it highly, especially for carnivores.Special Features:

A portable computer can be "hot" docked to one or more expansion devices, such as a drive wedge and a port replicator. As such, the expansion devices can be connected to and disconnected from the portable computer while portable computer is powered on and fully operational. The portable computer includes control logic that detects when an expansion device is connected to or disconnected from the portable computer and asserts an SMI or equivalent interrupt signal to the computer's CPU to initiate a sequence of events by which the computer determines whether an expansion device has been connected or disconnected. If the CPU determines that the expansion device has been connected to the computer, the CPU appropriately reconfigures itself to communicate with the expansion device. If the expansion device is disconnected, the CPU also appropriately reconfigures itself to preclude communications with the disconnected device.

Not applicable.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to portable computers. More particularly, the invention relates to connecting a portable computer to a drive wedge and a port replicator. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to docking and undocking a portable computer to a drive wedge and port replicator while the computer is powered on.
2. Background of the Invention
Portable computers, such as laptops, notebooks, sub-notebooks and the like, generally provide the performance and functionality of a desktop computer, but with advantage of portability. Smaller size and lower weight are achieved by making various design tradeoffs such as including a smaller size screen and keyboard in a portable computer versus a comparable desktop.
Some portable computer users desire to use a portable computer for extended periods of time. For example, for some it is desirable to use a portable computer at work and then bring the computer home for use at night. Because of the relatively small screen and keyboard sizes, some people find portable computers less than optimal for using in an office or home environment for extended periods of time, during which time portability is irrelevant.
To solve this problem, computer manufacturers offer various types of connection equipment that permit a portable computer to connect easily to various desktop peripheral devices. One type of connection device is a "port replicator" which is an electronic device positionable on the desktop or other work surface. The replicator serves as an interface between the portable computer and the various desktop peripherals with which it is to be used. A port replicator typically includes a housing having a rear panel with various connectors accessible from the rear of the replicator. A series of interconnection cables connect the selected peripheral equipment to the connectors on the rear panel of the port replicator. The replicator also includes a front portion that has one or more connectors which matingly engage corresponding connector(s) on a rear panel of the portable computer when the computer is placed on the desktop and pushed against the port replicator. The connectors on the rear panel of the replicator are wired to the connector(s) on the front of the replicator to which the computer connects, thereby providing electrical connection between the portable computer and the various peripheral devices. A port replicator usually remains on the desktop connected to the various peripheral devices and the portable computer is connected to or disconnected from the replicator as the user desires, thereby avoiding the hassle of connecting various peripheral devices each time the portable computer is to be used with such devices.
At least one manufacturer also provides a drive "wedge" that contains one or more storage devices such as a CD ROM, DVD drive, floppy drive, CD read/write drives and LS-120 drive. A drive wedge offered by Compaq Computer Corp., for example, is a relatively flat device that engages the bottom surface of a Compaq portable computer by way of a single connector. The wedge includes another connector that permits the computer/wedge combination to mate to a port replicator. By providing various storage devices (e.g., floppy drive) in the detachable wedge, the portable need only contain a hard drive, and as such, is relatively thin and lightweight. Accordingly, when a floppy drive and CD ROM are not needed, the user is able to use a computer that is smaller and lighter weight than it would otherwise be with such peripheral devices.
The process of connecting the portable computer to a wedge and/or a port replicator is often referred to as "docking." The reverse process of disconnecting these components is called "undocking." In conventional computer systems, docking and undocking required the computer to be completely offbefore docking or undocking. Thus, if the portable computer was already booted up and running, the user first had to turn the computer off, then dock it to the port replicator, and then reboot the computer. This order was necessary to ensure that the computer and its operating system knew what peripheral devices were available for use, information which was only obtained during the Power On Self Test ("POST") process during boot up. More recently, with the advent of portable computers that implement the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ("ACPI") or Advanced Power Management ("APM") standards which permit a computer to efficiently transition to a lower power mode of operation (commonly referred to as a "sleep" mode), portables need not be completely shut down before docking or undocking. Instead, the computer could be transitioned to a "sleep" mode and then docked or undocked. Sleep modes are lower power modes in which various subsystems in the computer are turned off to save power. Waking a computer from a sleep mode is a much faster process than cold booting the computer that was completely shut down, and thus docking/undocking a computer by putting the computer to sleep permits the computer to resume normal operation following the dock event much quicker. Upon resuming from sleep, the computer's Basic Input Output System ("BIOS") and operating system coordinate to re-detect attached peripheral devices.
It would be better still to be able to "hot dock" a computer. Hot docking means docking or undocking a portable computer from a connection device, such as port replicator, while the computer is and remains fully operational. Hot docking thus would not require the portable computer from being turned off or even placed into a sleep mode. A computer that can be hot docked thus would further minimize the hassle experienced by some users of conventional computers.
The problems noted above are solved in large part by a portable computer that can be "hot" docked to one or more expansion devices. As such, the expansion devices can be connected to and disconnected from the portable computer while portable computer is powered on and fully operational. The portable computer includes control logic that detects when an expansion device is connected or disconnected and asserts an interrupt to the computer's CPU to initiate a sequence of events by which the computer determines whether an expansion device has been connected or disconnected. If the CPU determines that the expansion device has been connected to the computer, the CPU appropriately reconfigures itself to communicate with the expansion device. If the expansion device is disconnected, the CPU also appropriately reconfigures itself to preclude communications with the disconnected device.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the portable computer can be hot docked to a drive wedge (and hot un-docked therefrom) which may contain one or more storage devices. The portable computer/drive wedge combination, in turn, can be hot docked to a port replicator (and hot un-docked therefrom).
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the port replicator contains an analog portion of a network interface and the portable computer contains the corresponding digital portion of the network interface. The full network interface capability, therefore, is not available unless the portable computer is docked to the port replicator. To prevent the digital network interface portion in the portable computer from attempting to operate without the analog portion being available and used when the portable is not docked to the port replicator, the configuration select input signal to the digital network interface portion is masked by a signal that indicates whether the port replicator is docked. Preferably, masking of the configuration select input signal is provided by an AND gate connected to the digital network interface portion.
For a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
Certain terms are used throughout the following description and claims to refer to particular system components. As one skilled in the art will appreciate, computer companies may refer to a component by different names. This document does not intend to distinguish between components that differ in name but not function. In the following discussion and in the claims, the terms "including" and "comprising" are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean "including, but not limited to . . . ". Also, the term "couple" or "couples" is intended to mean either an indirect or direct electrical connection. Thus, if a first device couples to a second device, that connection may be through a direct electrical connection, or through an indirect electrical connection via other devices and connections.
Referring now to

The audio subsystem 52 preferably is a NMA2 manufactured by Neomagic Corp. and provides digital and analog processing and provides connection to one or more speakers (not shown).
The keyboard controller 50 preferably is an H8 controller manufactured by Hitachi. In addition to providing support for keyboard 66, keyboard controller 50 receives input from pointing device 64 (e.g., a capacitive touchpad). The keyboard controller 50 processes input signals from the keyboard 66 and pointer 64 and provides that information to the CPU 22 via the ISA bus 54, secondary bridge 32, PCI bus 34, host bridge 24 and CPU bus 26 so that the CPU 22 can respond to the input signals as is deemed appropriate (e.g., displaying an alphanumeric character on the display 29 after that character has pressed on keyboard 66).
Portable 22 also includes an AND gate 42, inverter 44, wedge reset logic 58 ("WRL") (preferably comprising XOR gate 60 following by inverter 62), wedge power switch 68, and pull-up resistors R1 and R2 connected to signals WEDGED# and PRATTACHED#, respectively. The functions performed by these components relate to the ability of portable 20 to be hot docked and will explained thoroughly below. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that portable 20 may, and likely will, include other components, such as a battery, not shown in
The present invention is directed to "hot docking" a computer to one or more expansion devices. The preferred embodiment of the invention illustrates the principles with regard to a portable docking to a drive wedge and a port replicator. This embodiment should not be used to limit the scope of the claims unless so indicated by the language of the claims themselves.
Portable 20 is designed to dock to drive wedge 72. Drive wedge 72 may include a floppy drive 76, a CD ROM drive 78, or other suitable types of drives such as an LS-120 and DVD drive. By including various types of storage devices in drive wedge 72 instead of portable 20, portable 20 is thinner and lighter than it otherwise would be with such storage devices included in portable 20. Thus, if the user does not need a floppy drive or CD ROM or other such type of storage device, the wedge 72 can be excluded and the user is able to use the small and light weight portable 20.
If the various storage devices are needed, the drive wedge 72 can be attached to the portable 20. Further, portable 20 can be hot docked to drive wedge 72. That is drive wedge 72 can be connected to portable 20 while portable 20 is powered on and fully operational. Electrical connectivity between drives 76, 78 in drive wedge 72 and portable 20 is completed through connectors 70, 74 and secondary IDE bus 56. Although mechanical drawings of the portable and drive wedge are not shown, the drive wedge connects to the portable on the bottom surface of the portable. The drive wedge 72 also can be undocked from portable 20 while the system is powered on and fully operational. Once the drive wedge 72 is docked to the portable 20, the portable/wedge combination can be docked to port replicator 82 while the system is powered on and fully operational. The reverse process of undocking the portable/wedge combination from the port replicator also can be performed while the system is fully operational.
Referring to
In step 202, the wedge 72 is mated with portable 20. As shown in
Referring briefly to
Referring again to
In step 214, the BIOS code enables the secondary IDE bus 56, which up to now has been maintained in a tri-state (i.e., high impedance) condition. Step 214 is performed in any suitable manner given the choice of parts selected for the computer system. For example, if the secondary bridge 32 is an Intel PIIX4 bridge device, step 214 is performed by setting bit 12 of PIIX4's General Configuration Register (Function 0) to a logic 0 which enables the secondary IDE bus 56. (Tristating bus 56 is accomplished by setting bit 12 to a logic 1). Also about this time, the secondary bridge 32 also asserts a general purpose output signal (GPO27 in the preferred embodiment of
With the secondary IDE bus 56 enabled, the BIOS code then generates a Plug-n-Play ("PnP") event, which is a known feature of the Windows 98 operating system (or equivalent event if other operating systems are used). The PnP event generated in step 218 notifies the operating system of a dock transition, that is, a device has been added to the computer system while the computer system is on and fully operational. It should be recognized that the portable 20 preferably includes an operating system that has plug-and-play capabilities.
In step 222, the BIOS code writes a predetermined value to NVRAM 53 to indicate the system configuration to the ATAPI driver which controls the drives in the wedge 72. The predetermined value can be any desired value to indicate to the ATAPI driver that portable 20 has been docked to the drive wedge 71. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, the value is 01h ("h" indicates the preceding number is a hexadecimal value). This value preferably is written to memory location 7Fh, bank 2.
In step 226, in response to the PnP event notification, the operating system re-enumerates the system devices which means the operating system determines what devices are now present and available in the system and allocates resources (e.g., memory) accordingly. In particular, the re-enumeration performed by the operating system detects the presence of the IDE storage devices in drive wedge 72 and then directs the ATAPI driver to configure the drive wedge devices. In step 230, the ATAPI driver reads the value from NVRAM 53 and configures the drive wedge devices accordingly.
At this point, the portable 20 has been successfully docked to the drive wedge 72 while the portable is on and fully functional. Whatever device or devices are present in the drive wedge are now available for use by the portable 20. The portable did not have to be turned off or placed into a low power mode to complete the dock.
Once the portable 20 is successfully docked to the drive wedge 72, the combination of portable and drive wedge can then be docked to the port replicator.
In step 306, the KBC 50 detects the high to low transition of PRATTACHED# and generates a KBC SMI to the secondary bridge 32. The secondary bridge 32 in turn generates an SMI to CPU 22 which responds by executing a predetermined portion of BIOS code (i.e., System Management Mode handler). The BIOS code in step 310 determines the source of the SMI as being the KBC 50, determines that the portable/wedge have been docked to the port replicator 82, and generates a PnP event to notify the operating system of a dock transition.
In step 314, the operating system re-enumerates the system during which it detects the presence of devices in the port replicator 82 (e.g., the NIC (analog) 98, see below) and notifies the corresponding drivers to configure the devices accordingly (step 318). At this point, the portable and wedge have been hot docked to the port replicator without having to have first turned off the computer or place the computer in a low power state to complete the dock.
The series of actions in
CPU 22 executes BIOS code in response to the SMI to determine the source of the SMI. The BIOS code determines that source of the SMI is the KBC 50 and, in particular, that the portable 20 has been undocked from the drive wedge 72. The BIOS code in step 414 disables (i.e., tri-states) the interface in the secondary bridge 32 to the secondary IDE bus 56 by setting bit 12 of the secondary bridge 32 (assuming it is a PIIX4) to a logic 1. The BIOS code also generates a PnP event in step 418 to notify the operating system of that a dock event has occurred. In step 422, the BIOS code writes a predetermined value to NVRAM 53 to indicate the system configuration to the ATAPI driver. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, this predetermined value is 00h and is written to location 7Fh, bank 2. Finally, in step 426, the operating system re-enumerates the system and detects that the IDE devices in the drive wedge 72 have been removed. The operating system thus will preclude any future attempts to access the removed devices.
In step 510, the BIOS code generates a PnP event to notify the operating system that a dock transition has occurred and in step 514, the operating system re-enumerates the system and detects the removal of the NIC in the port replicator 82 and unloads the drivers associated with the NIC.
The preferred sequence of actions in
The preferred sequence of actions in
Referring to
Without the portable 20 being docked to the port replicator 82, the digital NIC portion 40 is useless. As shown, digital NIC portion 40 is connected to the PCI bus 34. An aspect of PCI bus operation is the configuration cycle. When the portable 20 boots up or re-enumerates, PCI configuration cycles are run which permit the system to determine which, if any, PCI devices are present in the system. In accordance with the PCI bus requirements, all PCI-compatible devices are required to have configuration registers that can be accessed during a configuration cycle.
A PCI device must include an Initialization Device Select ("IDSEL") input signal. The IDSEL input is used as a chip select during configuration read and write transactions. Thus, when the CPU reads configuration information from a PCI device or writes configuration to a PCI device, the IDSEL input of the target PCI device must be asserted. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, a separate address line ("AD") is tied to the IDSEL input of each PCI device (e.g., modem 35 and NIC (digital) 40 in
Without the portable 20 being docked to a port replicator 82, thereby providing the analog portion 98 of the NIC, running read and write configuration cycles to the NIC (digital) generally is pointless and can even lead to a system lockup if portable 20 believes a fully operational NIC is present in the system. To avoid this problem, AND gate 42 and inverter 44 are provided to hide the NIC (digital) 40 during PCI bus configuration cycles when portable 20 is not docked to a port replicator 82.
A low state for the PRATTACHED# signal indicates that a port replicator is present; a high indicates a port replicator (and of course the NIC (analog) 98) is not present. By inverting the PRATTACHED# signal, a high output level from inverter 44 indicates a port replicator is present, while a low indicates portable 20 is not docked to a port replicator. Accordingly, the AND gate 42 prevents the IDSEL input to the NIC (digital) 40 from being asserted unless, not only is a PCI configuration cycle trying to run to NIC (digital) 40, but also a port replicator 82 is docked to portable 20. When a port replicator 82 is present, PRATTACHED# is low and the output signal from inverter 44 goes high thereby permitting the AND gate 42 to assert high the IDSEL signal to the NIC (digital) 40 when AD22 is asserted.
The above discussion is meant to be illustrative of the principles and various embodiments of the present invention. Numerous variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art once the above disclosure is fully appreciated. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted to embrace all such variations and modifications.

Jocelyn's review
Jul 17, 09
An interesting cast of characters with complex motives. The setting is less interesting (another coastal community) and the main action takes place at a nuclear reactor facility that is not very convincingly drawn. The fate of two characters is totally unbelievable. Still, the book is well-written overall and it kept me engaged.

Hi folks,
I've searched and couldn't find anyone getting Conquer Online to work in 1680x1050 resolution FULL SCREEN without just scaling up the 1024x768 full screen view. This would require editing the client, and a problem would arise, too. This would make the screen size bigger, allowing you to view more things and players on the same screen, and if you would try to jump at the side of your screen, it would say you cannot jump that far.
But any attempt or success is welcome! Let me know if anyone got this working.

Odd TOHUNGA Out
Posted by
on September 13, 2001 at 09:19 PM CST:
This TOHUNGA is the oddest of the group, in a few different ways. She is the only Happy Meal TOHUNGA that does not have the same MASK shape as her assocciated TOA or as is pictured on her disc. She is also the only one that has the same color scheme as her TOA instead of having one matching color and one that doesn't.
This is the second TOHUNGA, along with HAFU, to come with a TURAGA MASK formed in TOA colors. I rather hope the trend will continue, since maybe it will mean that more of the Euro variants might see full-scale production.
It seems a bit odd to release this set third instead of fourth. The three parts for one of the 3-unit combiners are sets 1, 2, and 4, while the three parts for the other 3-unit combiner are 3, 5, and 6, which means you have to wait a few more days to build the first combiner.

Gang Gang Dance
Eye Contact
Eye Contact, the fifth full-length record from New York City experimentalists Gang Gang Dance, is the band's most consistently direct and engaging. It's also probably the least cool thing they've ever done—assuming that drawing from a wide palette of proudly cheesy influences is still uncool in a post-Ariel Pink world. It might actually be the coolest thing they've ever done? Hard to say. It certainly eschews the sleek club sound of their previous standout "House Jam," instead reigning in pop influences from around the globe to pair with the signature tribal rhythms that always felt a little more exotic than Houston Street. After the old-school GGD epic workout "Glass Jar", the record tours numerous international styles, the common denominator being anything that's ever inspired a truly inexplicable karaoke video. "Chinese High" smacks of the tinny Asian pop charts, probably K-Pop as opposed to J-Pop (the obvious C-Pop not being much of a thing). "Mind Killa" is a Bollywood anthem given deep, dank synth accompaniment. "Romance Layers" comes back home for a much-weirder take on an early 90s sex jam. While all of this is further ominous proof that the parochial standards of good taste have been more or less obliterated in the past few years, Eye Contact is notably enjoyable for finally placing vocalist Lizzy Bougatsos front and center on the majority of its songs. While that irrepressible rhythm continues to be the band's beating heart, she's the one that imbues these plastic textures with a modicum of soul.

Port Clyde House Rental Photos and Description
4 bedrooms, 2 bathroom. Sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms
For people who love the Midcoast, Port Clyde is one of those places that can't be missed, can't be replicated and can't be forgotten. Port Clyde is a place where days slow down and memories of a simpler time resurface. It's a place where kids can still run to the ice cream shop or fish off the public landing. You can walk to dinner, eat lobster on a deck on the water and walk home under a sky that still allows stars to shine. Rose Cottage sits in the middle of all this; across the street is the ice cream shop, down the hill is the general store, several shops and a fabulous restaurant (one of 3 in town). You can walk or bike everywhere and feel as if you are a part of it all. It's a lovely house – a traditional Maine summer house with an enclosed front porch overlooking the village and the waterfront. Of course, the windows open (with screens) to create a screen porch atmosphere. Find rocking Adirondack chairs and a table and chairs for morning coffee or dinner as the sun sets.
Further details:: Inside, find 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room, kitchen and dining room. The living room has comfortable furniture along with good reading lights, a television and cable. A high-speed Internet connection is also available.
The kitchen is fully equipped (lots of storage and prep room thanks to the adorable butler's pantry) with all modern appliances, cookware, dishes, etc. The kitchen also has a breakfast table that can seat 4-6.. The dining room seats 6 and overlooks the lawn and waterfront – these two rooms are close enough to comfortably seat a larger party without feeling disconnected.
For those who want a change of pace, the larger cities of Rockland and Camden are just 25-30 minutes away.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- suitable for elderly or infirm

Standing in space & Starship flying on land?
OK I have reported this, but no reply. Going from land to space, my character will be standing there and not my ship. The only way I can get out of this is to increase impulse or to receive a incoming massage. This also happen to me when I beam down to a planet. Instead of my character being there, where he should be. It my star ship. Its kinda funny, but overall its not. Same way to get ride of the problem. Try walking for a bit or wait for a communication window to open up saying what you have to do.
Too bad there's no screen shots..

Any genre, old or new, well known or obscure, multiplayer or singleplayer... Just a game you think more people should play.
The only group of games I've mostly played already are older RPGs like Infinity Engine games.
I've been looking at Battlefield 4 or returning to WoW but neither really excites me right now. So far this has been the worst year in gaming for me but there is still time to fix that.
Super Monday Night Combat
Total War:Shogun 2 + Fall of the Samurai & Rise of the Samurai. Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row IV are fun open world games too. Saints Row supports full campaign co-op which is definetely a bonus.
Terraria, Killing Floor, and Natural Selection 2 all have had recent updates and support modding. I have sunk hours upon hours online with all 3 of those games.
I know you only asked for one game but I figured you might prefer a genre over another.
Not changing this sig until Christ returns -- Started 30 A.D
3770K @ 4.2Ghz | 16GB Corsair Vengeance | GTX 670 SLi
Multiple games are fine. I just want to know what I may have disregarded or find a new game that looks exciting. Most people here have a backlog and I want one too.
If it helps games I bought last year and liked a lot were Dark Souls and Saints Row 2. The only game I've bought this year and liked has been Left 4 Dead 2 (I'm not a fan of zombies at all though).
I second Shogun 2. Amazing game
Dark Souls should be taught at schools.

Super Monday Night Combat
You could not have named a multiplayer game with less people.
Error. Human is dead, mismatch.
Sorry, just noticed you played Dark Souls.
I'll assume you're talking about PC games exclusively so...
Planescape: Torment
Fallout 1 & 2
Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
Gothic 1 & 2
Witcher 1 & 2
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Thief trilogy
Dungeon Keeper 2
Jagged Alliance 2
Disciples 2 Gold (or Heroes of Might & Magic 3/4)
"Now go ahead and leap ignorantly to the defense of wealthy game companies who don't know or care about you."
Total War Shogun and Shogun 2 are my least favorite from the series. Not a fan of the setting. But they're still great games, and I'll third Shogun 2 instead of recommending Empire or Napoleon like I normally would, since it's already been mentioned.
Mount and Blade Warband is a really, really good strategic sandbox RPG. It's a LOT of fun, and will continue being fun for hundreds of hours.
Crusader Kings 2 if you like more complex strategy games. It'll take awhile to learn but when you get a grasp on the basics you'll be sucked in for a long time. Just like all Paradox games.
Dark Souls isn't lesser known but it's a good game. Definitely a lot of fun for 60-70 hours.
Age of Empires 2 HD or Age of Empires 3 are really, really fun if you like RTS. I'm not even really a fan of RTS besides a few of the greats, and these are among the best of the best in my opinion.
Rogue Legacy is a really fun game. It's a roguelike, but with cash and stat increases in between lives to make things a bit easier the next time around. Which works well because the game is really difficult until you get a lot of stat increases and some decent gear. If you're looking for something to play for a weekend or two, and not suck you in for a LONG time like most games I recommend, pick it up.

Assassins Creed IV, I am actually critical of the series but IV is a masterpiece.

CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT: Imagine School at Palmer Ranch
Date: February 16, 2011
by: Loren Mayo | Community Editor
We caught up with some Imagine School cheerleading campers after school let out Tuesday.
Chelsea Yoder, 8
How long have you been a cheerleader?
This is my second week.
What's the coolest thing about it?
Stunts! We've been studying them and it's really fun. I get to stand up on people because I'm tiny.
What's your favorite stunt?
The "Star."
Lauren Friseie, 6
How long have you been a cheerleader?
This is my second year.
How do you warm up?
People hold our feet and we roll around on the ground to warm up our muscles.
What's the coolest thing about it?
The "Star" jump, because you get to spread your arms out, and it's kind of like you go up in the air and you're flying because you're standing on top of people.
Piper Murray, 10
Why do you want to be a cheerleader?
I did gymnastics and thought it would be really fun.
What's the biggest difference between gymnastics and cheerleading?
Gymnastics is much stiffer, and you don't do as many tumbles and flips.
What's the coolest thing about cheerleading?
I like lifting people up. I learned the "thigh stance."

Seems real fishy he hurried up and left the country when they asked for a sample.
Alistair Overeem Granted Conditional License, Fight With Brock Lesnar Still On [UFC 141]
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today ruled that Alistair Overeem will still be licensed to fight Brock Lesnar on NYE after being slow to comply with the commissions request for a random drug test.
Timeline: Alistair Overeem was asked to provide a sample on November 17th. Overeem left from Las Vegas to Holland to oversee his mothers health, the very same day the out of completion test was requested. It was five+ days before a sample was taken in Holland and by his own doctor.
Overeem said under oath that he didn't try to avoid testing and followed all instructions requested by the NSAC.
Overeem must take another test in Europe with in 72 hours and another one when he lands in Las Vegas for the fight. Also, he must provide 2 post-fight random tests in the next six months at his own expense, in order to comply with his fight license in the state of Nevada.
Brock Lesnar was also asked for a random sample by the NSAC and was given approval to have blood drawn at a local hospital since he lives out in the middle of nowhere, he passed.
Props: BloodStain for breaking the story.

hell yeah. this is the fight we all want to see. not mir vs. lesnar III…i don't really want to see mir get beat on again.
