It would be nice to have a cable had USB OTG, USB Serial, DB25, and proper full-null wiring all built into one cable. They make the FTDI chips pretty small. We'd also need a small PCB and the FTDI chip surface mounted to it. Even if we kept the "OTG" feature separate I think this would be really neat M100 peripheral. One could use a glue blob to protect the components or for a better look 3d print a shell. 3d printers are becoming pretty common we could print some batch of custom cases. A work friend has offered to print me some parts to make a 3d printer, I will give it a shot if that ever comes through. -- John.
