BTW, I didn't see that coming. All these years and I don't remember
every learning about mini-DIN, and all I know about DIN is that car
radios come in that size.


The first I heard of DIN was in about 1975, with my father's tape deck
(IIRC, the brand name was Dokorder). At one time he suspected that the
problem was in the audio connectors. Since this tape deck had a (5-pin)
DIN connector (same as old PC keyboards?) he got an adapter (4 RCA jacks
to 5-pin DIN plug).
