Bruce,
Isn't this function related to the ClockRun signal? Would there be ANY way
to share this between Wake and ClockRun? Maybe, the board yanks on
ClockRun to wake the bus if the bus is currently asleep. Just a thought.
One of the problems we have with adding signals, is that all of the PCI
Reserved pins are NOT 1 for 1 carried out the expansion bus on the back of
our notebooks. Since our docks are multi-generational, it is real hard to
add a pin on the docking connector. For example, previous generation docks
(for the TM5000 notebook) work on the current generation notebooks (TM6000)
and hopefully the next generation notebooks (no this isn't a product
announcement, functional guarantee or anything else, just an engineering
guess).
But if you actually add a Pin, sooner or later, we'd get it supported in
"matching pair" notebooks - docks.
