Docking station for T61 and T510

I have two Thinkpads, a T61 that's my personal machine and a T510 from work. I have programs on the personal machine I'm not allowed to have on the work one, but I need the work one to access the company network from home.

Currently I'm swapping cables back and forth between the two computers, I would really like a single docking station I can use with both. I need VGA, USB and ethernet on the dock, I don't need any other features.

Is there any docking station that will work with both models?

Thanks,

John S.

I do not think the docking stations are the same, so I do not think that will work.

I have a T61p which is my business computer (I run my own business). There is nothing to hook up.

The mouse is wireless, the computer is wireless, the screen is big enough, the keyboard is fine. So I need only plug it in. At some clients, I have to plug in an ethernet cable (no wireless). That is how I manage your situation.

I thought about a docking station, but second thoughts keep getting in the way. .... JDH
