    I don't have office on my CF-30 yet (still sorting it out at work, still can't get touch working, think it's hardware issue, won't work in windows or ubuntu) or I would of got a snap shot to put up. Thanks, Toughasnails.

    Those ports are pass-thru to what's already on that side of the CF-18. IMHO the new stuff is the 18-36V power input, which sounds like aircraft power (28V) or some kind of military vehicle power, plus whatever is under that cover with the thumbscrews at the front of the gadget. It could be a bay for a flight data cartridge or data encryption device.

    There is also another connection in the back of the adapter, Pen tether is in the way and can't get a clear view of it.

    I have seen a couple of RFID boxes attached/highly secured to the new port replicator on the 31 at a particular building in our country.
