Thinkpads Forum

Lenovo tells me that this dock will work with "all A, T, and X Series ThinkPad notebooks" and I'd like to buy one.

However, my machine type (2379) is not listed in the matrix of compatible systems; the 2378 is. I'd like to know if the Dock II would work with my machine before buying. The machine has been upgraded to a FireGL 128 MB motherboard (FRU 39T5473).

Thanks,

Tim

That's not my favorite dock in the world because 1, it's noisy, and 2, I've had some weird booting problems when running off of a KVM. Anyway, it should work with any T4X machine.

^ Fair enough, but that's the only T4x-friendly dock with a port (PCI, PCI-E, AGP) for peripherals such as a graphics card, right?

At any rate, if the price is right, I'd like one for playing around.

Last time I looked on ebay they were really inexpensive (<$50, sometimes < $30).

I've seen some with BINs around $45. However, I've had varying degrees of success with electronics purchased off the 'bay, so my first choice would be to get something from TPF members.

Item found via eBay for $35. Let's hope it actually works.
