ABSTRACT:
A novel expansion unit and a computer connectable to the expansion unit are disclosed. A docking station constituting the expansion unit has a locking mechanism. When a portable computer is mounted at a mounting position on the docking station with a key set to a BLOCK position, an eject/lock mechanism is activated, ejecting the portable computer from the docking station. With the key set to the BLOCK position, the depressing of an eject switch is invalidated. In this case, the eject/lock mechanism maintains the portable computer which is locked at the docking station, in a locked state.
