Hi Carl!
Thanks for your compliment :) But I'm not a writer, altough.... I'm writing software programs ;)
A docking station is an extension of several io-port of a laptop, so you don't need drivers to use it. But the BIOS of the laptop detects the docking station, so I think the BIOS of this new laptop does something when it detects it. But what :)
Here is some info of the (original Toshiba) docking station: Type: Toshiba Advanced Port Replicator III Model: PA3314E-1PRP Serial No.: 65136318
Don't confuse a docking station with a port replicator. A docking station contains additional hardware and a port replicator simply extends the connectors to enable easy connect and disconnect of peripherals.
