Docking Station - NOT Port Replicator Toshiba Tecra 8000 Larry LaMere 05-06-2006

I'm looking for something very close to this:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kb/en/document?dn=1032551
for a Tecra 8000. Note the slot on the lower right side, it is a port for a
select bay device (
floppy, CD, HD). A bay for a floppy and one for a CD/DVD would be ideal.

When I bought my Tecra I thought this is what a docking station was, but all I
can find is port
replicators. (No expansion slots or device bays.)

So my question, Is there such a thing? Or should I have gotten a Dell?

Yes, there is such a thing. You should be able to get one on ebay. From
memory,it has pci slots, built in scsi card, pcmcia slots, 5 1/4" bay, a
bay for the select bay devices (adapter required), and all the
connectors at the back of the tecra 8000. Make sure that the special
connector at te back of the computer is not damaged.

Thanks, I found one there (finally), they should use different names for the
docking and port rep
stations. They'd be easier to locate.
