Accessories

We offer many accessories that can help you make the most of using your Solo notebook. Check out our web site or call our Add-Ons group to help you find products that will best fit your needs.

Available accessories include memory modules, external keyboards, speakers, carrying cases, printers, tape backup units, hard drives, modems, network cards, software, and uninterruptable power supplies (UPS).

Here are more accessories we offer that make using your Solo more flexible:

The Docking station is a full-featured expansion unit designed to meet the needs of mobile users who require the modularity and functionality of a desktop system. The docking station’s key features include two dual expansion slots (PCI or ISA), a 3.5" hard drive expansion bay, a 5.25" or 3.25" device expansion bay, two PC Card slots, built-in stereo speakers, and a removable monitor stand.

Other features are the MIDI/game port and two PS/2 ports that let you attach devices such as an external keyboard, mouse, or joystick to the docking station. Once you connect the peripherals, you can leave them attached.

The Mini-docking station enhances the capabilities of your Solo notebook by providing a one-step connection to external devices such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, serial device, joystick, external power, speakers, and microphone. The docking station also provides additional PC Card slots for expanded functionality when using network cards, SCSI adapters, and modems.

Add an Extra battery for when you’re on the road and have no place to plug in your portable. An additional Li-Ion battery will keep you working.

The Battery charger can be used to charge the Li-Ion battery for the Solo 5150. It takes approximately two to three hours to charge a fully discharged battery. The battery charger has two LEDs to indicate battery charge status.
