Except the obvious problem that they won't work in DEC equipment...

Good point, I took a DEC tool and turned the plate around for Mind
Storms hacking. But my point is that the tools and plugs are findable
- as they are even on amazon.

I would suspect you should be able to find them in Europe as LEGO uses
the MMJ connector for Mindstorms (which is a pain in the neck).
Amazon
carries the tool and plugs, so it's easy to make
them. The tool is
$40-60 US and the plugs cost under a dollar (and I have seen them
as low
as 4 for a dollar). What is hard to find is the
female connector, I
have not find a reliable source, so I find myself making custom MMJ to
RJ11 cables for the kids when they want to make a custom interface to
connect to their robots.
Doesn't the LEGO's version of the MMJ have the tab on the right?
