400SP port replicator (not)
Gateway doesn't seem to offer a port replicator for the 400 series of
laptops. Interestingly, the Dell Inspiron 1100 has a port replicator accessory, but the meager specs imply that it's connected via USB! That's a brain twister; to get a parallel port, you hook up a port replicator to your USB port? I'm slightly surprised that Gateway doesn't have a port replicator for its 400 laptops. Are port replicators passe now, with the advent of USB-based peripherals? I wouldn't have wanted to be without the replicator for my existing Solo 5100 laptop (printer, Zip drive, mouse). |

Did you just ask gateway. Ordering my 600 I had the same problem but when I
spoke to them in person they made it right! Docking np! "Gordon McLean, Jr." wrote in message ... Gateway doesn't seem to offer a port replicator for the 400 series of laptops.
