  Thanks for doing this project and I have signed up!
Me too.
  Curious why mini usb and why the exclamation points
regarding "NOT micro?
 " Micro is so common. I have tons of usb-micro cables for all my devices. I don?t
 think I've seen a device made in the last several years with a mini. I have no mini
 usb cables, not that I can't purchase one, of course! 
I was also slightly curious, but I have a pile of mini USB cables from
external drives, a ZipIt palmtop texting device, and even my
ZoomFloppy, so I'm all set there.  I don't mind a dedicated cable
sticking out of my PDP-8.
