I was researching this a while back. The best I could come up with is some sort of modular cable, similar to an HP-HIL cable, except with 8 pins.



From the Portable PLUS Service Manual:

5.19.3 Video Interface
The HP 82985A Video Interface provides a connection for duplicating the computer display on an
external monitor. The video interface consists of a modified battery door for the computer that connects
to the motherboard PCA in the computer, a video cable that connects to the the battery-door
connector, a separate interface module that connects to the video cable, and a monitor cable that
connects the interface module to a monitor. An ac adapter provides power to the interface module. A
description of the interface and complete service information are contained in the HP 82985A Video
Interface Assembly-Level Service Manual (part number 82985-90003).

Perhaps the service manual provides a part number.

Page 5 of this document gives the part number of the replacement receptacle panel.

After further research, this looks close:

Yes, eight (8) pins. wires. all the gold (?) plated pins are openly exposed on the underside of each male end receptacle. which has a staggard block tee shape. I got it plugged in to the video interface device and in a matter of seconds was able to stream DATA from my HP110 + on to an HP 82985A 9-inch monitor. (which has been sold and will be sent to Deutschland. Thanks, Dave. Much appreciated !@
