Which port replicator do you have?

For my T60, I have two different versions, both snap in place. I've never tried using one while it is not connected to power, but I've never had trouble using any devices connected to it without drivers, and I've used both Windows and Linux.

One of the port replicators has a few basic connections, and the second has a DVI connector.

The only one I can think you'd need drivers for is a port replicator connected by USB. For sound and video to work with that, I'd think you'd need drivers.

Oh right does it require plugging in then and thus doesn't work by battery?
Hmm I am sure my x30 ultrabay worked off battery.

There are no drivers for docks/port replicators. It *should* be plug & play...in Windows, that is.

You have to use Internet Explorer and no other browser in order to get System Update to recognize your machine.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Port Replicator drivers





Hello,



I am struggling to find the drivers for a port replicator for the Thinkpad T60.



I cannot see anything in the t60 drivers page and i cant seem to find

a drivers page for these port extenders.



An extender does need a driver doesn't it for Windows XP Pro?



IBMs System update does not pick it up and automatic detect fails to even

find my model number.



Are the drivers in a peculiar place?



Thanks for your time
