I had a laptop docking station for my laptop that actually plugged into the laptop from underneith through this weird expansion port.. That provided me with a serial, 4 extra USB ports, a parallel port (which is what I needed it for for my long exposure webcam and the ST9E...)

A lot of people report having hardware conflicts with this kind of thing, however even running windows vista, I had no problems with using the dock and the ST9E... No random connection issues etc...

I like this idea for lessening the amount of cables running from the computer to the mount... Definitely avoids all the tripping hazards..
