A docking station would provide and RS232 with screw jacks, parallel
port and lots more connectors.
Docking stations are pretty nice to have for non-portable use. Just
extract the laptop when you need it to go. No unplugging of cables.

Hmm, can you get your money back for that laptop? Seems to me that your
RS232 port is next to useless.
I agree -- I'm looking online, and it appears that the connector is
close to being non-functional.
Even if you could find a mating connector, unbolted DB9's fall out
very easily.
I don't agree with that -- I've used DB9s fully mated without
retaining screws with no problems.
