With the UltraPort connector being nothing else than a standard USB 1.1 interface with a proprietary connector, it should in theory be possible to transform any USB 1.1 device into an UltraPort device.
This idea is undermined by the fact that a mechanical adapter comes with every UltraPort device, that transforms the UltraPort connector into a standard USB connector.
Pin Layout
The following 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.
| GND | 0 | VBUS | VBUS | GND | D+ | D- | GND | o | ? | ? | ? | 0 | GND |
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1,5,8,13 | GND | Ground |
| 2,12 | 0 | probably not connected |
| 3,4 | VBUS | +5 VDC |
| 6 | D+ | Data + |
| 7 | D- | Data - |
| 9,10,11 | ? | unidentified |
| o | it is fastener not a pin |
