Physical incompatibility between the Dock I (2631) and the T40 series does not make sense to me.  The Docking Station II is documented as supporting the T2x and T30 models as well as the T4x, so it would seem that they must use the same physical connector.  Can someone clarify?

Which video cards have people put in the PCI slot?

What about USB in the Docking Station?

What about some usb-problems installing a new linux system with kernelversion 2.6?Problem with Dock USB Ports

USB passthrough or PCI adapter?

The Dock has a single passthrough USB port.

But you should be able to install a USB 2.0 PCI-adapter in the PCI-slot.

Referenced link

The referenced link is for the Dock II, not the original Dock, in addition it seems like it was a one-off event with a broken Dock that was replaced under warranty.

Usage with unsupported Thinkpads

Does anyone know if the 2631 model will support T4x series, such as the T43p?


It will NOT physically fit.

The docking connector on the T40 series machines is in a different place then it was on the T20/30 machines.

And on the latest T60 machines, they moved it again.
