[sdiy] mini-din socket - panel mount?

[cheater00 .]

You can possibly find a generic cylinder which will go on the cable
before the actual plug; the plug would slide into it and the cylinder
would be used to screw it in place. Worst case scenario is that you
can have it machined.

What are you using the mini din for if not for midi?

Cheers,
D.
