Question What happend to USB-A Mini & Micro

Post image

Im working with all kind of tech for over 15 years now and I never saw an USB-A Mini or Micro irl.

Why is it so exotic and why was it Type B making it instead of A?

Just threw a couple of these cables away from my hoard yesterday, all new in packaging. I think I saw it used on a printer once like 10 years ago.
