    If memory serves me right (I'd have to test it again on the T-60's and T-61's I've got in the shop to be sure), I'm 50% sure that the system will see three displays at once when you use the dock. I'd really have to test it again to be sure, but for some reason I keep thinking that one of my users where I work actually did do this once. As dumb as this is going to sound, the last time I worked on one of these laptops, I had to open and close the LCD display before it worked right. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have triple-head capability though, instead the LCD will clone what one of the displays shows.
