Hello,

Will the TR ever have a port replicator or docking station released for it?

Probably not.

The TR has all the real ports that you’ll ever need. Seriously, I know that people are still using PS/2, serial, and parallel ports but there’s no real reason to use those anymore. The TR has enough USB2 ports, firewire, ethernet, and VGA out. That should be enough for most modern usages. You can get a firewire or USB2 hub to add more ports if you need it.

I agree with gr00vy on this one.  In addition, though, if you have Bluetooth with or TR or are daring enough to mod it yourself, then you will not need many ports at all for many of your peripherals.  Something to consider. :wink:

I knew there was a reason why the BT thread was so popular!

I think I will miss the line out on my current machine is there any alternative to a standard line out may be in USB or Firewire.

Thnks

I bought the kensington one that sony suggests because I wanted to be able to remove all my devices with one plug…its ok, except the fact that the video out is still on the TR. If you search through my posts, I did a review on it.

There are some USB sound devices that can give you a pure line out. Some can even give you a digital out. These devices will also act as secondary sound cards.

Anyone know of a nice quality port replicator with the usual suspects, USB, Serial, Parallel and so on, but with VGA as well?

I’d heard USB 2.0 now allows for VGA and VGA conversion.

Also audio out would be nice.

As you can guess I’m looking for a real, “one plug” docking station.

I think I’m gonna miss the docking station on my R600 a fair bit.
