Yann, I have a Dock II station for use w/ my 755cx and I love it. I have an external SCSI ZIP Drive, printer, internal SCSI HD and internal SCSI CD-ROM connected to it. Along with an expanded keyboard w/ a TrackPoint it works like a charm. I ran out of money for a good quality external monitor so I get by w/ the TP's 10.4" TFT screen. The Dock II Features are: Speaker-in jacks Audio out jacks Headphone jack stereo speakers connector for external floppy drive connector for external keyboard connector for mouse or other pointer device parallel port serial port SVGA video port 2 ISA adapter card slots 1 1" Drive bay (this is where my CD-ROM is installed) 1 1/2 height bay (this is where my SCSI HD goes) External SCSI port 2 PCMCIA slots Installation of internal components is pretty easy. I particularly like having the SCSI adapter built in... makes adding devices a breeze. If you plan on using an external monitor you will probably want to buy the display shelf to rest it on (shelf covers the TP when docked and the monitor sits on top). Good Luck What exactly comes in a Dock II docking station? I'd like to dock my ThinkPad 701 so I can have access to a CD-ROM drive... Now for $600+ for a Dock II, what do you get? Do you have to buy the SCSI CD-ROM drive extra?
