Surely two Mini-DIN 6s or 8s would have fit. Of course, few people would have cables to fit a Mini-DIN 8 unless they had some unused Mac serial cables, or they might try to plug a mouse into a Mini-DIN 6....

Pre-fab cables work well with Mini-DINs. Trying to make cables for these connectors is a nightmare. Worse than the 8-pin mic connectors transceivers use these days....
