I have that exact model of laptop, with the DVD docking station, and
Debian installed. Does your docking station include the floppy drive?
There's also an external non-usb floppy drive for that model of
laptop that I might be convinced to share :-) I have not tried
running it undocked since installing, since I have no use for the
machine undocked.
