Thanks again for the advice I got! I heard back from the seller of the no-key Mini-Dock. It sounds like it's actually a PRII (no keyslot). If it's really a PRII, it makes it a mid-range price (towards the high end). The Mini-Dock with key is still the cheapest I saw at $18.49
Another seller on eBay had listed "Mini-Dock AND PRII" which was tempting but turned out to be confusion from the manual, it was just the PRII. Both sellers were up front about what they were selling, I think that manual (and lack of reference info) confused them. In the end, we decided on the PRII since we have 3 AC adapters for the T41 (so one can stay plugged in to the PRII, and I don't have to worry about the special 120W adapter breaking on the Mini-Dock). Spent extra and got a new one for $15.99, cheapest used was $12.11. BTW, all prices U$, shipped to US. I have Amazon|eBay locator IDs if anyone else is shopping for these. =aw -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 3:21:55 PM, you wrote: > Thanks for the quick reply.
