The original
suggestion, though was that there was a cable to link
Commodore serial peripherals (as used with the C64, C128, Vic20, etc) to
an RS232 port. Since these interfaces are very different, in voltage
levels, in the bit-level protocol, and in the higher level protocol, I
think it's impossble to use a simple cable to link such devices to a
generic RS232 port.
For serial interfaces check out:

And check out the "Turbo232 High-Speed Modem Interface". With a SuperCPU you
can go to 115200 bps.
