USB and Port Replicator II

#1 Post by justthinking » Sun Nov 12, 2006 2:10 am

Does anyone know, will the USB port on T4x series laptop function when the unit is connected to a Port Replicator II?

The reason I ask is because Port Replicator II only comes with 1 unpowered USB port, which wouldn't be an issue if the 2 powered USB port from the laptop would work while connected.

If the USB ports from the notebook won't function when docked, then I think I would have to go for a Mini-Dock

Both USB ports on the side of a T4x continue to work, in addition to the USB port on the read of the Port Replicator II, so you have 3 USB ports in total available.

Cheers,

Yes, the USB ports on the laptop WILL work while connected to the Port Replicator II. I do it all the time. I'm thinking about getting a Mini-Dock now because I don't want to really add more wear on the USB ports by repeatedly inserting devices into them.
