Yes it's gray and the package says the following: "Connects the Atari
8-bit computer to Industry Standard Centronic's Parallel Printers. ICD's
State-of-The-Art Interface Electronics Built into Cable End (including a
custom, single chip microcomputer). Requires No separate power source."
Not a bad deal for $2.95, will have test it later.

I suspect that what you have in your bag is an ICD
P:R:Connection
which is
a two port serial, one port paralell interface. Is it
square and grey
in
color with an ICD P:R:Connection moniker printed
thereon? Might by
itself
be worth $50.00 to an Atari Enthusiast.
Else it might just be a cable. If so, that same cable works with the
Atari 850 interface for the same purpose.
