Hi Ken,
I've had a Dock 2 for a couple of months.
I'm using the built in CD-ROM drive and external SCSI
to get to a SyQuest drive. It can support an IDE drive as
a slave using the thinkpad internal control logic.
It's nice docking the machine because of the built-in
power supply, dedicated attachments (thru keyboard and mouse ports),
and build in speakers.
I like having the ability to add a cheap IDE disk and cards.
Not worth it if you only want a CD-ROM attachment.
Joe
