There was once an external drive that ran a power connection through that
hole. But then they started putting power supplies in all the external
drives. (bad idea to try to power too much external stuff off of 63W)
Well that explains the square, four pin connector sitting in the 5150 I
recently restored. Unfortunately, I never got the external drive with it.
