Don't mind Steve, he's from the alternate universe where USB was implented with TRRS connectors

What size?

1/4" at first. Later they switched to 3.5mm for mini usb.

Anyway he's still annoyed at us for thinking USB-C's flippable nature is neato. He's had that functionality in USB since 1997
@foone in his universe speed advancement stopped at a gigabit (this is a good thing)
