funny thing - today i noticed that the siemens lifebook e-series use a similar kind of connector like NIE for their external floppies. its seems to be a female connector, ie the same kind as on a dongle.
can anyone with a siemens lifebook confirm?

Nope, sorry. The NIC port was custom-designed for Apple by JAE (Japan
Aviation Electronics) specifically for the 2000. It probably got included in
the eMate because Apple expected third-party peripherals to be made using it.
If you look at other handhelds from that era, like say old HP or NEC WinCE
machines with docking stations, the NIC port is not unlike those ports.
