Hi Bill,

It would all appear to be downloadable (complete with installation and
activation instructions) from this site:

http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-4JSQHB.html?lang=en_US&page=brand&b
rand=IBM+ThinkPad&doctype=Downloadable+files&subtype=Cat#Diagnostics 

-- 

The download is pretty long, so I'll call it a day and try it tomorrow
if I get the time.  I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks for your help so far.  Any ideas on the best "dock" solution ?

Regards,

Tony
