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.

I know it's
factory as the
housing for the 25 pin has the C= emblem molded
into it.
Anyone know the function of this cable?
This does sound like a serial cable to connect to a modem ... although,
wouldn't a DCE device want a D25 male plug? Well, I guess you can easily
find this out if you test the connectivity of the pins on either end.
I still have my C64 manual at home, so I can look up what you should
expect to see with the serial cable.
