David:
I just spent 30 minutes trying to navigate the Dell web site to either get
a direct answer to my question, or to find a link to e-mail support, with no
luck.
There is a phone number here that I may call.
As you say too, I can cautiously try, which I may end up doing as well.
Just thought I might get lucky, and someone might have a direct answer
because they have used that particular computer and docking station.
Will continue to read the mail here as I get time today.
