There is never a right or wrong way to do things, and differing opinions are always welcome. Creativity is enhanced when people can "Do their own thing" and share with others. While I personally LOVE Harald's USB board, and thank him for providing it at such a reasonable price to the community, I also respect Mark's desire to try something new.

I also respect Mark's plan. I was just providing some advantages to one method that he may not have thought of.

I personally would not use a micro-USB connector for a NON-USB purpose, because some bone-headed friend might plug a standard USB cable into the thing and damage the calculator. But if Mark is CERTAIN that he will be the only one handling his special calculator with the non-standard USB connector, then he should be alright.
