Applications
Port replicators like the ESI-PRT707A were designed to let laptop users instantly connect to a full set of desktop peripherals — monitor, printer, mouse, keyboard, and speakers — by docking the laptop onto a single base unit rather than plugging in each cable individually. The Tecra 500 and 700 series were Toshiba's business-class laptops of the mid-to-late 1990s, and Extended Systems produced this replicator specifically for their proprietary docking interface. Today these units are sought after by users maintaining or restoring Tecra 500/700-era systems, as well as by collectors of 1990s business computing equipment. The rear I/O bar provides the legacy serial, parallel, and PS/2 connections that these laptops' native ports expose through the dock, making it a practical solution for anyone running a Tecra in a desktop-style setup.
This Extended Systems ESI-PRT707A Port Replicator for the Toshiba Tecra 500/700 series has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The gray plastic housing shows normal wear consistent with prior use, and the docking connector and rear I/O ports appear clean and undamaged. No AC adapter or cables are included.
