I once saw an HP monitor with a pair of HP-HIL connectors on the back... 
Intrigued, I waited for the 'owner' (actually user) to leave, and then 
cautiously pulled the case. It turned out it could take the same 
touchscreen option as the HP150-II, and that these were the connectors 
for that.

No, I can't remember model numbers, etc.
