Sounds like you have a supply source for those connectors. I am
a couple of months out from finishing a folding stand for a 2x00
newton that I would like to see something like this being
integrated into it. Maybe I will get back with you when I
complete it to discuss a possible design change to accommodate
the interconnect connector without it being obtrusive and
stressful and allow the ports to be available at the back of the
stand. This adapter and my idea for a stand would make for a
pretty inexpensive form of a docking station.
Like I said before, I'm a few months away from a prototype
mainly for the lack of good tools. I'm currently stuck in
design. When I get a prototype built I will place photos on my
web page for all to see. If interested I could build more
(without interconnect ports) for a small charge. This would be
my small contribution to the Newton community.
