#REDIRECT [[UltraPort]]
 
 
This idea is underpinned by the fact that a mechanical adapter comes with every UltraPort device, that transforms the UltraPort connector into a standard USB connector.
 
 
 
==Pin Layout comparison==
 
The following UltraPort pin layout has been discovered through measuring the UltraPort of a ThinkPad {{X21}}. It is not very well tested, but worked well for the author of this information.
 
The information on the USB Type A connector pin layout has been copied from Wikipedia.
