Abstract: A computer system with a PC Card external connector sends signals to PCI devices as if respective PC Card functions. A cooperating docking station connects to the PC Card connector and so processes the PC Card signals that a set of signals for supporting PCI bus standard are made available at a PCI bus of the docking station. The docking station is hence able to connect to a bus commonly available on computers, particularly laptop computers, for direct plug-in connection and yet supports connection of PCI adapters that otherwise tend to be supported only within a main computer at an internal PCI bus.
