    Unfortunately, it depends on how your 'diy dock' plugs are actually wired. Generally speaking, laptop slots are keyed to prevent incompatible and/or potentially damaging cards to be inserted. Branded eGPUs come in both key flavors. So while the adapter may allow your machine to work with the diy dock, there also is a risk for damaging its mainboard if it doesn't work. Jack E/NJ
