Request: USB Docking Station (Old Walcot SN3) Looking for a docking station that can drive a couple of monitors. I can handle most combinations of HDMI, VGA, DVI and DisplayPort cables. One of the older style ones that uses USB3 rather than the newer USB-C connectors would be great. (Bit of a long shot, but my longsuffering second-hand thinkpad unit is getting a bit unreliable for the home office) Thanks.
