Does the portable's lock slot differ from either the Mac desktop units
(like the Plus) or the laptop units (which some had a small hole that a
keylock would fit into).

I do have the lock clamps for a Mac Plus, and I believe it was the same
as for any other desktop mac. Its a little metal bar that slips into the
lock slot and snaps behind the tabs built into the case so it can't be
removed. Then a cable slides thru the hole in the bar and is wrapped
around and locked to any secure object.

I used it to secure one of my Mac Pluses when my wife (then GF) borrowed
one while in college.

IF this is the same as for the Portable, then I have at least one lock
plate still (it should still be in the keyboard that was used with the
plus), but I'm sure I no longer have any packaging or documentation for
it, and I may or may not still have additional plates or the cable.
