Yes, I am learning to hate them too. I ruined two mini-DINs when trying to
solder them up. I'm going to try again using crimp connectors instead, when
I locate some. And keeping the cable connections straight makes my brain
hurt.
Anybody have a Personal Iris 4D/2x keyboard cable lying around? DB9M to 6
pin mini-DIN male.
Ouch.

I hate mini-DINs. They're OK for portable systems,
but they don't belong on
desktops or anything else. They're hellish to solder. And it gets even more
stupid when they're used for AC adaptors. It's just a way to force the user
into using only branded transformers. Especially if they're only using two
pins on the mini-DIN.
