Port Replicator for HP Laptop

Hi, everyone:

I have an older HP Compaq NC 6000 laptop. I would like to get a port replicator for it, so I don't have to plug and unplug all the cables when I go mobile. Anyway, I found a refurbished HP DC366B #ABA Advanced Port replicator for 24.99 at getpartsonline.com. I can't afford a true docking station, or even a brand new port replicator. Can anyone say how port replicators typically connect to laptops? It seems like I would need a cable, but can't find any info on what type to get. Then, I would plug my HP AC adapter into the port relicator, and then connect the laptop to the replicator with the cable, right? Sorry to sound somewhat lame, but I really have no clue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Best regards,

Jaina
