He answer is that I don't know, however, the Dell website is full of
information, albeit difficult to trawl through to what you want.
They have a link somewhere to technical support and no doubt you will get an
answer there.

The other thing is that so long as you don't physically force the machine
into the docking station, it is unlikely that you are going to cause any
damage.
If it doesn't fit, it isn't the correct one!

Subject: off topic: How to determine whether a docking station will accept a
particular laptop computer

Hi, all.

I guess this technically can be considered "off topic", but as you'll see, 
it may not be as far afield as it first appears.

Here's the story:

As at least some will remember, I have been on a quest for an older Windows 
XP laptop to use as my main ham shack computer for quite some time now. 
And, I believe I have found one at a reasonable price.  It's a Dell 
Lattidute D600.

Several years ago, I had acquired  a Dell docking station.  The only info I 
can find on the docking station is that it is a Dell d-dock docking station.

How can I tell whether this particular docking station will work with the 
Lattitude d600?

Is there a particular web site I can go to for answers to questions like 
this?

Or, does someone know the answer already?

I just don't want to try it without adequate information, and risk damaging 
something.
