From the Jalopnik comments[1] it appears to be the docking port which connected to an optional "Automobile Adapter" #4 in this image[2]. [1] http://jalopnik.co

- EvanAnderson 10y agoWhile I don't doubt that the dock connector is in play, the "automobile adapter" is a charging accessory (per pages 12 and 13 of the manual: http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/edwin/laptops/Compaq/Compaq%20LTE/Compaq%20LTE%20Elite.pdf http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/edwin/laptops/Compaq/Compaq%20...).
- jonah 10y agoAahh. Good info. But, yeah some sort of proprietary connector/accessory.
- cnvogel 10y agoThe "Automobile Adapter" indeed is only a switching power supply. I still own mine, with the proprietary Compaq connector chopped off. It's laying in my junk drawer and inside is guest a boring switched step up converter. It could connect to the docking station just as easy as to the laptop itself, the connectors are identical on both.
