Question about Thinkpad Mini-dock

Getting ready to purchase a T42, all set on the system have a quick question about the docks.

Does the Minidock have a power-on button on the dock like the Port Replicator II does? IBM's website doesn't say anything but the two docks are so similar I had to ask.

yes. Mini-dock has built in power adaptor. Port replicator needs an AC adaptor, not included with purchase.

I actually meant if the Minidock also has the power-on button that turns on the docked Thinkpad like the Port Replicator II has.

Is a Minidock really just a Port Replicator II with a power adapter included? I can't find any difference...
