Bingo. I tried both of those a little while back and your theory proved
true.
On Mr. Rob Smith's note:

I work part-time at RS and the size I would've needed i 3/32"... it'd be
nice if TI put the 1/8" (headphone size jack) on the calcs. That way, we
could hook up standard amplified speakers or headphones without having to
build are own. (Sound isn't too big of a deal yet in the TI community,
fortunately).
And so...
Our loyal TI fanatic fan, Fuzmeister journeyed to Staples and purchased the
new black cable. Upon arriving home, he found that not only did the
graphlink work, but it was 2x as fast as the evil gray cable that had
plagued him so long...

I love a story with a happy ending,

PS Kudos to you all for the incredible help! Had it not been for you, I
might still be stuck in the mud...
