This may not be any help.
A friend has a T4800??. I found 3 Docking Station IVs. The manual for
the DSIV talks about floppy drive, NO mention of CD-ROM. I installed an
Adaptec SCSI controller and a Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM into one. It worked.
Month or so later, it stopped working, even to the extent of not providing
power to the computer. I switched the SCSI card and drive to another
DSIV. Then it stopped working. Removing the drive and card did not
restore the DSIV. When I can get to it again, I'll have to see whether
I've maybe destroyed the power supplies? I have one more DSIV left. I'll
at least wait until I diagnose the damaged ones before messing with the
sole survivor.
