Can Transf. Prime use dock/keyboard from TF101?

Can the Prime (TF201) tablet use the keyboard dock from the Transformer TF101? I've been looking for this info, since it is so difficult to find the newer TF201 keyboard dock. Are they compatible?? Thanks.

No. I tried this at best buy the other day. The two latches on the keyboard that secure the tablet are sized different. And, the tablet is thinner than the original Transformer, so the bracket itself is larger. The TF201 keyboard is also different cosmetically, being made from different material. Not that it would matter much.

I suppose that would have been too easy for new Prime users, to have the TF101 dock work for the Prime. Would have also provided another USB port, too. Not concerned about the cosmetic aspect, but just trying to figure out if there is a way to make them safe and compatible. Thanks, batt105, for your input.
