Title: WTB: Industrial/IBM-Looking USB to Mini-USB Coiled Cable
Post by: romevi on Sat, 12 September 2015, 00:10:28
Not sure where to stick this so I'll put it in classifieds. I'm getting a TGR-Jane some time this year (?) and was thinking of what kind of cable to get. I like braided, but wanted something truly unique for the Jane.
Then I spotted b7ad's OTD and noticed the cable. It's perfect. It reminds me of the IBM ones, but I'm not entirely sure it is as I thought the IBM's were beige, whereas this one is gray.

I messaged b7ad and he (she?) told me it was sourced by Margo, who built the board, and doesn't know where Margo got it. I messaged Margo, but I imagine he's busy and so wanted to ask fellow GHers.

Does anyone make such a cable with USB-to-miniUSB ends? I guess I can go the PS/2 route if that's my only option, but I'd love to find out if there's a setup for the more "modern" connection types.
