Got one, works ok. For those non docking station PCs. Sucks that it has to have own power supply. Originally paid $60 when I purchased the laptop from Dell.
Hmmm… I just got a laptop, maybe… but it works fine as it is. I wonder about this statement though under requirements:
Hi-speed USB 2.0 port (Docking Station will function on USB 1.x port but only at USB 1.x speeds)
Does that mean there are items out there that run on USB 2.0 speed on a 1.x port? If not, then why say it?
Oh, NM… saw some of the comments on the NASCAR w00t… gotta be careful with some w00ters out there…
interesting… but i see issues piping your 10/100/1000mbps ethernet through a usb line…
also, most printers today are usb anywa, so a simple usb hub would solve the problem. same goes for keyboards and mice. get usb devices and a hub and there’s your cheap solution.
This seems kinda silly, it uses 1 usb port to give you 2 usb ports, 1 parallel (few devices use this anymore), 1 serial (few devices use this anymore) and 1 ethernet port (most if not all laptops have this built in)
