The microphone connector Jeroen Smael talked about is called a 'Jack' and
has either 2 or 3 connections (mono/stereo) Anybody with a pair of
headphones, a microphone, or a pair of PC speakers can take a closer look
at them. They are very common, and pretty well shielded, as Alex mentioned
The only problem for us is, they have only 3 'pins' while we need at least
4 (d0,d1,ack,gnd) So unfortunatly, this is not really an option.
stereo mono
