According to www.usb.org:
Mini A Connectors are not permitted per the specification. The On-The-Go
Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification does not allow the use of mini-A
receptacles for anything except an adapter as outlined in Section 3.8
Connectors. The mini-AB receptacle is not permitted on any device except
OTG. An On-The-Go device by definition has a mini AB receptacle. Mini B
connectors are not limited to On-The-Go devices and are used on On-The-Go
and non On-The-Go devices.
So it looks like the mini-a is banished by the USB 2.0 spec and I guess any
equipment using them is a hold over from the pre-2.0 spec days.
