Looking for a port replicator...

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a Belkin KVM switch, and want a port replicator for my XPS (it
doesn't have a dock port, so I have to go the port replicator route)...

Here's what I need on the PR... connecting to the laptop via USB...

2x P/S 2 (KB & M)
SVGA
10/100 Ethernet

Anyone know of something that will do this, in one box?

The one you're going to have a tough time with is the SVGA (or any graphics
output). The 9100 and XPS don't have a docking station port like the 8600
and Latittudes have, so there's no provision for graphics output other than
the VGA port in the back. That's the reason why I had a really tough time
deciding on the 9100 as my desktop replacement. Belkin, Targus, and
Kensington all have "port replicators" for the other items you mention, but
they're nothing more than fancy USB devices.
