I guess those Compaqs had "slotted torx"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Slotted/Torx

"A combined slotted and Torx drive screw was used in electronics manufacturing.
For example, Compaq used this type to combine the benefits of Torx in
manufacturing and the commonality of flat drive in field repair situations. The
slot was closed on the end"
