You'd be lucky to find accessories for the C series now, as it's getting on 4 years old (jeez already?!)

Try VAIO-Link

There's a docking station too?
I remember seeing a box with 1x USB, 1xRJ45 and AV

[harshalshah5]

well i hve similiar view too, but i heard targus make universal docking stations powered by usb im unsure and need you ppl's advice coz picturebooks like mine (vintage models ) have usb 1 instead of 2.0 which are slower. there is only 1 usb 1.0 port, i pcmcia slot and couple of others so i definetely need a rj-45 to connect broadband and i need something like atleast 3 usb ports to connect extras..

ne ideas abt cheaper ones?? i forked out all my budget on picturebook so im really low on cash now and damn!! those credit card bills, they tend to be lifelong companions

cheers

I've never used a 3rd party docking station, but you could easily pop a network PCMCIA card in, then you have RJ45 or even wireless.

i borrowed my friend's usb lan adapter for time being which he dosent use anymore. but im looing for the docking station for this model, i heard ppl say that there are ones which officialy were sold to be used in sony picturebooks..

Keep you eyes peeled to eBay - looks like Sony don't really care much for the ol' PictureBook which is a real crying shame as it was a landmark

[harshalshah5]

thats very true, im looking almost everyday on ebay and other relative sites.

this site has information about picturebooks which is good
