For all of you who looked over the port on the d/dock I had last night =
and tried to help me figure out what it is, thank you.

I was able to find a link that documented what it is. It turns out it is =
a proprietary USB port DELL uses for adding additional bays to the =
D/Dock.

Thanks for your help in trying to figure out what this was.
