The TP docking station is $900 and their CD-ROM is $600. This is outrageous. For about the same price, one could get a 486 box on an ethernet running peer-to-peer networking with a PCMCIA ethernet card. There would be little loss in speed, and you would also be able to expand available hard disk space to the 1.4 Gigabyte realm for the price of the TP 340Meg drive. With a modem in the 486 box and in the TP, one could even access files remotely! The main drawback of this approach is that it would be less portable than the docking station. Another alternative is a PCMCIA SCSI interface to an external CD-ROM for something like a third of the price of the docking station CD-ROM combo. While on the subject of penny pinching, the FAQ I downloaded mentioned the possibility of putting a third-party hard disk in the TP750. Does anybody have more information on this? -Cheap SOB On Sat, 23 Apr 1994, Arie Litman wrote: > > > Hey all, I need information from users of the IBM docking station with > the CDROM player.
