An improved port replicator for sharing peripheral devices between a portable computer and a desktop computer. The improved port replicator provides the ability to connect the ports of the two computers as well as to share peripherals between the computers. These interconnections are accomplished by means of a switch on the improved port replicator. The improved port replicator is realized by connecting a custom 50-pin cable between a desktop computer and a docking means. The docking means includes a custom adapter for transferring the desired electrical signals from the desktop to either a portable computer at the docking means, the peripheral devices connected to the docking means, or to both the portable computer and the peripheral devices. |
