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.

Still looking for this info - must be "Highly Classified"!

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... Ben Myers

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.
