No - only network and thats a PCI device. There is an enhancement to
this docking station that actually lets you use PCI and ISA bus cards
but I don't have that. I'm wondering though if the lpt and com ports
on the back actually work, there shouldn't be a reason why
they don't, the USB ports work on the docking station..

It would be useful if laptop vendors came up with a standard docking
architecture that we could write drivers for - that way you could dock
and undock ala windoze. [or maybe they have and I don't know about it].
When I dock and undock it detects the additional/removal of the USB
hub but not the PCI ethernet device. [although I can live with that].

Regards,
Neil.
