Abstract
A docking station is provided with a floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive used to extend a function of a lap-top PC. A station body has a pocket formed so as to house and hold the lap-top PC therein. The docking station is of a vertical type and the lap-top PC is also held as a vertical position therein. Consequently, the docking station is effective in space-saving. In addition, because the lap-top PC can be docked to the docking station from the front side of the docking station, the docking can be done safely and easily.
