Subject: RE: Hmm...what the heck kind of cable is this????
Steve brought up a point I didn't think of - that
it's probably a 23 pin
d-sub (I didn't count them) and is probably for a monitor.
At one point, the Amiga 1084S RGB monitor was so widely used, and the
number of different video port connectors used by Commodore so large, that
many 1084s shipped with 6 or 7 different cables in the box. Mine came that
way, and the extra cables have certainly come in handy as I added VICs and
C-64s to the collection. Why CBM didn't standardize on one or two connector
types and simplify their manufacturing and distribution I'll never know.
Cheers,
Mark.
