Thanks for the quick reply. I can see on further inspection of the manual that they do look the same (I think I may have been confusing it with the PR).
What I meant was that getting the PRII wasn't a negative due to using the standard adapter, since I have a spare. A MD with adapter is fine, without (as many are) makes it much more expensive. Interesting point about the key, I vaguely remember my old TP600 docking station did the same. it's weird but perhaps in a semi-public environment, it stops anyone else from dropping their TP into the docking station and using your connection (assuming it would work, and assuming it's a negative thing). I would have thought you'd _want_ people sharing docking stations but what do I know. -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 2:58:42 PM, you wrote: > At 4/7/2010 02:50 PM, Andrew Webber wrote: >>Does the Mini-Dock stick out further than the PRII? > I just measured mine.
