Where MULTIPLE input or output connection capabilities, whether wired or
wireless, are provided, AT LEAST ONE OF such connection capabilities
shall comply with publicly available industry standards."
The AT LEAST language is good if we add to the end "and all of the interface
functionality available on the non-standard connection would be available on
the standard connection" (otherwise I could have a non-standard connector
for all input and output except I would have a standard headphone jack).
The MULTIPLE connection is a problem since it means I can have one
non-standard connection and no way to use AT.
I think we need to limit this to connections dealing with interface
functions. Power connectors and disk drive connectors for example don't
need to be connected to AT.

Hi Jim,
Doesn't your suggested wording eliminate any allowance of non-standard
connectors? How about something along the lines of:
Where MULTIPLE input or output connection capabilities, whether wired or
wireless, are provided, AT LEAST ONE OF such connection capabilities
shall comply with publicly available industry standards."
rather than
Where input or output connection capabilities, whether wired or wireless,
are provided, such connection capabilities
shall comply with publicly available industry standards."
Best regards,
Tom Albin
