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.
