 Physical incompatibility between the Dock I (2631) and the T40 series does not make sense to me.  The Docking Station II is documented as supporting the T2x and T30 models as well as the T4x, so it would seem that they must use the same physical connector.  Can someone clarify?

 Ok, once more, the '''ThinkPad Dock''' is '''incompatible''' with the T40 series machines.<br>
 And you are correct that the newer Dock II can support both the T40 series and the older T20/30 machines.

		+	The reason for this is that the physical connector has not changed between the T20/30 series and the T40 series, but the location of the connector has.<br>
		+	On the T20/30 machines the connector is placed more towards the back of the ThinkPad, while the T40 has it placed slightly more forward, because of the location of the battery. The Dock II (and also Port Replicator II) have an adjustable back that can be set for older (T20/30 series, etc), or for newer (T40, etc) series machines. This is not possible with the older Dock or Port Replicator.
