Thanks for reminding us of the interconnect port. I doubt that they will ever press new plugs, but if we could convince them, I can offer to make new dongles. It's relatively easy to make USB-C dongles, and the missing plug is by far the biggest holdup. 

How many dongles do you think would be needed, and what would be a fair price? The more we make, the cheaper they get.

I can offer to pay for a batch of connectors if that helps to convince the manufacturer. I did have a batch of the internal modem port plugs made 15 or so years ago, and the minimum order was 350 back then. I still have a few of those left.
