Nope, it's totally different.

Your choices are:

1. Advanced mini dock (adds DVI, USB, parallel, and serial port plus the normal standard ports). Many users have reported trouble.

2. Advanced port replicator (no DVI, no parrallel, and no serial port). The most basic.

3. Advanced dock (same as (1) plus a memory card reader, slot for video card, extra UltraBay, etc).


The T60* series uses new dock connectors. The old docks won't work.

Sorry, no. The Advanced Dock does not have an PCMCIA slots (unlock the Dock II which does).

For more dock comparison details, see this post: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=22358
