Now that I think about it, the base docking station might not have it.
I think mine came with the "Think Pad Port Replicator II".  A serial
port is in the list of its features.

  I have a new T40 at work, and I think the optional docking station has =
a serial port.

    I purchased a new IBM T41 laptop. This machine does not come with =
DB9-RS232 ports.

    In order to run TunerCat-RT with the Romulator, I need a RS-232 =
conector.

    Also I use DataMaster to connect to the ALDL connector, again with =
an RS-232 DB9 connector.





    I have tried the Belkin F5U103 USB to Serial DB9 converter. I works =
sometimes, but causes continual BLUE-SCREENS-OF-DEATH under Windows XP.

    I also have tried the new StarTech PCMCIA 2-port serial card. This =
card would work with some old legacy serial devices, but not the =
Romulator.

    Has anyone got a suggestion for this problem? How about the QUATECH =
DSP-100?
