Trying to
identify two cables I ended up with, one to DE-9 and one to Mac 8-pin
mini-DIN. The other end on both is a male 9-pin mini-DIN. These clearly look
like serial cables, but to what? A cursory Google didn't come up with anything
obvious. They don't fit the Mac GeoPort or Sun SPARC serial ports because the
pins are slightly out of place.
Possibly to an Epson PX-8.
An interesting thought, but the PDF manual you linked shows the PX-8 serial
port (pp16-17) is 8-pin mini-DIN.
This is what the connector on these looks like, including the metal "bar" at
the top:
