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.
