Posted by crumpton69 on November 30, 2006, 4:13 pm Please log in for more thread options Hi. The 800CS/CT models have an 80-way (4rowx20) Docking/SCSI port... does anyone have the pinout, please? I was wondering if the PS/2-style CLOCK and DATA signals were on there somewhere, since the docking-station itself has Mini-DIN connectors for external mouse & keyboard! Also, any ideas as to which (presumably far-Eastern) company made the connector? TIA for any help - Mark.

Posted by Ben Myers on December 13, 2006, 3:03 pm Please log in for more thread options No. Unavailability of this sort of information is typical in the industry. The connector is proprietary, and the assumption by HP is that no company except HP would need to know this info...

Proprietary and unobtainable. Many of these high-density special connectors are made by Hirose, JAE or Yamaichi, sometimes AMP but I haven't seen that so much as heard about it. If you have the docking station, then open it and trace back the PS/2 lines. It's very unlikely they just run back to the dock connector but if you're lucky there will only be filters and maybe a buffer in between.
