    Do you know of any ?
    Does the "PR01X D/Port Replicator" have the IEEE 1394?

    I have a lot of videos on my camcorder that I would like to burn on dvds and do not think the usb is going to work. Any Advice?

    I have a PRX01. It doesn't not have IEEE 1394. I do not believe that the bigger PD01X has it either. Your best bet is probably to get a PCMCIA to Firewire adapter (or a USB to Firewire adapter if they make such a thing).

    Why don't you think that the USB connection is going to work?

    I do not think the usb is fast enough, I could be wrong though. Anyone used the usb to do such a thing?


    BTW: Can you use the power adapter that came with the laptop for this docking station or you have to buy a different one. Most that are sold on ebay do not come with the power adapter.

    As long as you have a USB2 connection, you won't saturate the USB bandwidth. AFAIK, PRX01 will only take a 90W adapter. This is probably the case with PD01X as well. I'm not sure if the D620 originally shipped with a 90W or 65W adapter, but if it did come with a 90W adapter, you can use that same adapter on the PRX01.
