is there a MiniDisplay Port Cable (male) to Micro-HDMI port (female) so I can use my Surface 2 adaptors with my Surface Pro 3?

I have a bunch of adaptors for Surface RT and Surface 2 that I'd like to use if possible for Surface Pro 3.

I have

Micro-HDMI to DVI

Micro-HDMI to VGA

Micro-HDMI to HDMI

I now need to buy display port adaptors.

It would be great if I could piggy back some adaptors.

Mini-DisplayPort out on Surface Pro 3 --> conversion cable from Mini-DP to MicroHDMI (female) ---> then the above MicroHDMI conversion pieces to DVI, VGA, HDMI, etc.

I see a bunch of Mini-DP to full HDMI, but none that go Mini-DP to Micro-HDMI (female).  Anyone see any????

Would this work to piggy back conversion pieces?

    The downside of this is no VGA option. While I don't like VGA, most work computer monitors still have it.

    The DVI port on work comptuers is still in use.... so are there Y - adaptors so I can have 2 computers going to one DVI slot? then I can switch back and forth?

    I am not sure if this matter is resolved already but I had a similar issue. I needed a mini display port to micro HDMI male-to-male cable between my Surface Pro and an external portable monitor. After much searching, found it at below site of the US distributor of a monitor manufacturer.
